This is a ppt representing a small glimpse about the usage of satellites in the domain of agriculture. This slide was presented during the rawe program to the students of M.R.N School in Village kherka.

8. PRECISION AGRICULTURE
• Precision agriculture is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring, and
responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops. Satellite imagery supports precision
agriculture by providing the needed data for more precise use of fertilizers, herbicides,
pesticides, as well as optimizing the use and rotation of pastures, predicting yields and
monitoring loss, to name a few.
• Polish startup SatAgro is an example of an agtech company that has been leveraging satellite
imagery to enhance precision agriculture. According to the company, the variable-rate
prescription maps generated from satellite images (and available within their app) have
enabled farmers to cut the use of nitrogen fertilizer by 12 percent, thereby helping to
maximize the potential of the land while minimizing environmental impact.

10. FOOD SECURITY
• Satellite imagery can be used to generate crop maps over large heterogeneous areas. In
combination with census information, the crop maps can enable regional authorities to
identify priority areas in need of assistance in the event of, for example, drought-related crop
failures. This can inform planning that ultimately has the potential to reduce poverty, famine,
and death.
• NASA Harvest is an example of an initiative that has proven the efficacy of this model. Using
satellite imagery from Sentinel-2, the NASA-USGS Landsat, and Planet’s SkySat, and
subjecting it to machine learning algorithms, NASA Harvest was able to generate a cropland
map within 10 days at the request of the Togolese Government. This map helped authorities
to identify priority areas rapidly and effectively for its relief programs.
