All stakeholders in agriculture — including producers, processors, resource managers, the marketing and finance sectors, and the government economies — need timely and reliable information on crop acreage, yield prediction, and production estimation for tactical and strategic decision making. Early prediction of crop yield is important for planning and making various policy decisions. In India, a remote sensing and GIS-based approach proves to be an accurate method for estimating yields and monitoring the health of sugarcane crops.
How can a country that's almost 10 million square kilometers in area and has a large percentage of the world's freshwater — and disparate jurisdictions responsible for that water — integrate water data collected at myriad source points? Canada's ResEau initiative is attempting to do just that, as it prototypes a new way of accessing and managing water information across jurisdictions through the use of open geospatial standards.
Oil & Gas companies around the world are investing in innovative geospatial technologies to reduce errors, cut costs, and ultimately improve the management of our Earth's precious natural resources.
