- Precision & digital, GlobalThe role of technology in mitigating the effects of natural disasters on agricultureWeather forecasting, efficient irrigation, drones, satellite imagery, hardier crop varieties and mobile tools can help farmers prepare for and recover from floods, droughts and wildfires.
- Precision & digital, GlobalPrecision forestry and sustainable forest managementPrecision forestry uses remote sensing, GIS and data to guide planting, thinning and harvesting, while sustainable forest management balances economic, social and environmental benefits.
- Precision & digital, GlobalHow precision agriculture is improving farmingExplains how precision agriculture uses satellite imagery, soil tests, field sensors, GPS-guided equipment and drones to apply water and fertiliser when and where crops need them.
- Precision & digital, PunjabPrestigious project gained by Punjab Remote Sensing CentrePunjab Remote Sensing Centre has won an ISPRS research project to use satellite data to model links between crop residue burning, air quality, soil moisture and crop yield.
- Precision & digital, GlobalPrecision agriculture and data-driven farmingPrecision agriculture uses GPS, remote sensing and data analytics to guide planting, fertilising and pest control, aiming to raise yields, cut input costs and improve soil health.
- Precision & digital, IndiaIndian agriculture department to fly drones over 100 districts; DGCA grants permitThe DGCA has allowed the agriculture department to fly drones over 100 rice and wheat districts to estimate crop yields and speed up claim settlements under PMFBY.
- Soil, water & climate, GlobalPrecision nutrient management and soil healthPrecision nutrient management uses soil mapping, sensors, remote sensing and precision applicators to put fertiliser where crops need it, cutting costs, leaching and emissions.
- Precision & digital, IndiaAquaCRED, a financial risk estimation strategy for farmersAquaconnect has launched AquaCRED, which uses machine learning, satellite remote sensing and pond data to assess credit risk so lenders can offer formal loans to small fish and shrimp farmers.
- Precision & digital, IndiaDigital agriculture: the future of Indian agricultureExplains how remote sensing, soil sensors, drones, AI and blockchain could help Indian farmers meet rising food demand, presenting digital agriculture as the sector's next step.
- Precision & digital, GlobalThe role of precision farming in increasing yields and reducing wastePrecision farming tools such as yield and soil mapping, variable rate technology, precision irrigation, planting and weed control, and remote sensing help farmers raise yields and cut waste.
