Monitoring Agriculture for a Changing Planet
Description:
How can global food supply chains adapt to climate change to keep the world fed – especially in communities that are disproportionately impacted? Join NASA researchers, farmers, and global crop monitoring experts to dig into how NASA's view from space can help balance water resources with food production. From farmers like Dwane Roth in Kansas who uses a NASA app to grow his crops with less water, to researchers like Catherine Nakalembe helping communities in East Africa use satellite data to make local crop decisions, this panel will share the latest advances in satellites for food security.
