1. Green Revolution 2.0
Remote Sensing

2. First Green Revolution
Agricultural yield per unit of land
Goal = alleviate poverty
Concentrate on irrigation, farm management, high yield cereal crops

3. Remote Sensing
“process [that] involves the detection and measurement of radiation of different wavelengths reflected or emitted from distant objects or materials, by which they may be identified and categorized by class/type, substance, and spatial distribution”

4. Spectral Signature Area of agricultural phenomena Wavelength employed
1. Plant diseases and insect infestation 2. Natural vegetation, types of crop and fresh inventories 3. Soil moisture content (radar) 4. Study of arable and non-arable land 5. Assessment of plant growth and rigour for forecasting crop yield 6. Soil type and characteristics 7. Flood control and water management 8. Surface water inventories, water quality 9. Soil and rock type and conditions favorable for hidden mineral deposits.
