Remote Sensing of Global Croplands for Food Security
Increases in populations have created an increasing demand for food crops while increases in demand for biofuels have created an increase in demand for fuel crops. What has not increased is the amount of croplands and their productivity. These and many other factors such as decreasing water resources in a changing climate have created a crisis like
Digital Ecosystem for Innovation in Agriculture
This book presents the latest findings in the areas of digital ecosystem for innovation in agriculture. The book is organized into two sections with thirteen chapters dealing with specialized areas. It provides the reader with an overview of the frameworks and technologies involved in the digitalization of agriculture, as well as the data processing methods, decision-making processes, and innovative services/applications for enabling digital transformations in agriculture. The chapters are written by experts sharing their experiences in lucid language through case studies, suitable illustrations, and tables. The contents have been designed to fulfill the needs of geospatial, data science, agricultural, and environmental sciences of universities, agricultural universities, technological universities, research institutes, and academic colleges worldwide. It helps the planners, policymakers, and extension scientists plan and sustainably manage agriculture and natural resources.
Remote Sensing Applications in Dryland Natural Resource Management
Arid and semi-arid areas are now facing a threefold holistic crisis: economic, food, and climate. What has emerged from these crises is the vital importance of inter-linkages among them on the one hand, and the missed opportunities in putting these pieces together on the other. This book has tried to explore these challenges though in-depth discussions of the individual. It is anticipated to inspire a forward looking debate that looks at the lessons from the past and points to actions for the future. Expertise views have been shared scientists and persons of eminence on the national and state level challenges with futuristic remedial approaches.
Digitales Ökosystem für Innovationen in der Landwirtschaft
Dieses Buch präsentiert die neuesten Erkenntnisse auf dem Gebiet des digitalen Ökosystems für Innovationen in der Landwirtschaft. Das Buch ist in zwei Abschnitte mit dreizehn Kapiteln unterteilt, die sich mit spezialisierten Bereichen befassen. Es gibt dem Leser einen Überblick über die Rahmenbedingungen und Technologien, die an der Digitalisierung der Landwirtschaft beteiligt sind, sowie über die Methoden zur Datenverarbeitung, Entscheidungsfindung und innovativen Dienste/Anwendungen zur Förderung digitaler Transformationen in der Landwirtschaft. Die Kapitel wurden von Experten verfasst, die ihre Erfahrungen in verständlicher Sprache durch Fallstudien, geeignete Illustrationen und Tabellen teilen. Der Inhalt wurde entwickelt, um die Bedürfnisse der Geoinformatik, Datenwissenschaften, Landwirtschafts- und Umweltwissenschaften von Universitäten, landwirtschaftlichen Universitäten, technologischen Universitäten, Forschungsinstituten und akademischen Hochschulen weltweit zu erfüllen.Es unterstützt Planer, politische Entscheidungsträger und Erweiterungswissenschaftler bei der Planung und nachhaltigen Bewirtschaftung von Landwirtschaft und natürlichen Ressourcen.
An Irrigated Area Map of the World (1999), Derived from Remote Sensing
This research report presents the results of a global analysis of multi-temporal time series at nominal 10 kilometer pixel resolution. Statistics of irrigation at country level are derived from these maps for different seasons and for the entire year (annualized) for the nominal year of 1999. Three methods of area abstraction are used and compared, and three methods of accuracy assessment are applied. The annualized irrigated areas of the world at the end of the last millennium were about 480 Mha of which there were 263 Mha for season 1, 176 Mha for season 2, and 41 Mha for continuous cropping. Of this, Asia alone accounts for 78 percent (375 Mha) with 59 percent from China and India. The country statistics are compared with FAO country-level statistics (see Annex I). The IWMI GIAM 10 km V2.0 map were tested based on 3 sources of independent data resulting in accuracies between 84 and 91 percent with errors of omission not exceeding 16 percent and errors of commission less than 21 percent. The total area available for irrigation (TAAI; the nearest equivalent to FAO’s equipped area) was 412 Mha.
