Gurwinder Singh: Geospatial Intelligence in Precision Agriculture, Gebunden

Klappentext

To secure the future of global food systems in an era of climate disruption, this comprehensive, hands-on reference equips you with the cutting-edge geospatial intelligence and AI tools needed to build highly profitable, sustainable, and climate-resilient farms.

With a growing population, rising demand for food, and accelerating climate change, geospatial intelligence is reshaping how the world farms. This book delivers a comprehensive, hands-on guide to modern precision agriculture, bringing together the core enabling technologies of remote sensing, GIS, IoT, artificial intelligence, and cloud-based earth-observation platforms into one practical, decision-focused reference. From planting to harvest, readers see how location-aware data and smart sensors are used to monitor crops, manage irrigation, assess soil health, classify land use, and quantify environmental impact with a resolution and speed that traditional methods cannot match.

Across eighteen carefully sequenced chapters, the book moves from foundations to frontier applications. Each chapter is grounded in real-world case studies that show how these tools are already being deployed across emerging agricultural economies. The book ends with a forward look at AI-driven analytics, multisensor fusion, and cloud technologies that will define the next decade. The result is a single, authoritative volume for students, researchers, agri-tech innovators, and policy professionals who want to understand and apply geospatial intelligence to build farming systems that are productive, profitable, and sustainable.
