Remote sensing of agricultural resources

Although discussed to a certain extent undr land use, agriculture merits attention in its own right. Domesticated plants and animals provide food, fibers, and other raw materials needed to sustain human life and culture. An expanding human population requires that these living resources be effectively inventoried and monitored on a global scale to facilitate management tasks. Remote sensing systems are regarded as potential sources of the accurate and timely data needed to meet these requirements, since existing conventional ground survey methods are proving inadequate for the present magnitude of the task. This chapter examines possible applications of remote sensing technology to agricultural surveys with respect to 1) agriculture information requirements, 2) remote sensing capabilities, 3) agricultural surveys where the use of remote sensing techniques is at an operational level, and 4) research projects in agricultural remote sensing
