NASA-ISRO mission will map farmland from planting to harvest

Summary

Nutrition label

91% Informative

The NISAR satellite will provide a powerful data stream that could help farmers in the U.S. and around the world.

The satellite will have the resolution to see small plots of farmland, but a potentially more meaningful benefit will come from its broad, frequent coverage of agricultural regions.

The high-resolution data on which crops are present and how well they are growing could feed into agricultural productivity forecasts.

"Resource managers thinking about food security and where resources need to go are going to be able to use this sort of data to have a holistic view of their whole region," said Rowena Lohman , an Earth sciences researcher at Cornell University in Ithaca , New York , and soil moisture lead on the NISAR science team.
