1.0 APPLICATION OF REMOTE SENSING FOR AGRICULTURE

1) Crop Yield Forecasting

Anticipating how productive a crop will be ahead of harvest is of direct

interest to various stakeholders: individual farmers to optimize the
production quality and quantity, national governments and international
institutions to strengthen food security, especially in developing
countries. Crop insurers are interested in both fine and coarse scale in
order to assess the potential crop yield losses of individual fields, but
also to compare these to the regional context at a coarser scale. This
section focuses on crop yield forecasting over large geographic extents,
while the field scale, where ancillary information is generally more
abundant is addressed in Monitoring crops for yield optimization:
precision farming.

2) Agricultural Land Use Monitoring

One of the most straightforward uses of remote sensing for agricultural

purposes is to make maps of the agro-ecological landscape. It may be
useful to recall the distinction between land cover, which relates to the
physical properties of a land surface, and land use, which corresponds to
the activities or functions for which humans utilize the land. These
notions are conceptually distinct, yet inherently related, and both are
useful in an agricultural context. Mapping the agro-ecological landscape
is achieved by applying classification algorithms resulting in discrete
categories on spatialized remote sensing measurements.

2) Agricultural Land Use Monitoring

Remote sensing will have an increasingly important role for

monitoring agricultural land use as the agro-ecosystems change their
spatial configurations under the pressure of various drivers. Such
drivers include climate change, and therefore to induce changes in
crop type within numerous regions.

Additionally, changes in farming practices, such as adopting

regenerative agriculture approaches that prone zero-tillage and crop
diversification in order to restore soils, will also modify the spatial
organizations of farming systems.

Overall, policy-makers and local to regional decision makers will

increasingly need updated spatial information of how agro-
ecosystems evolve in order to improve their management.
