"Agricultural monitoring was probably the first civilian application of satellite remote sensing data."

This session covers previous ARSET trainings that relate to agricultural monitoring and presents case studies of EO being used for agricultural monitoring. 

Session Outline:

• Previous ARSET training with agricultural applications
• Products and variables for cropland and rangeland monitoring
• National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) - CropScape
• Examples of operational global agricultural monitoring systems
• Examples of operational food security and early warning systems

Learners who have not completed the Fundamentals of Remote Sensing may not be prepared for the pace of the training

This training was created by NASA's Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET). ARSET is a part of NASA's Applied Science's Capacity Building Program. Learn more about ARSET HERE.
