Abstract

Agriculture plays a crucial role in ensuring food security and sustainable development, especially in the face of a growing global population. In recent years, the use of satellite data has been proposed in the transformation of the agricultural sector, providing valuable information to improve decision-making and increase productivity. Remote sensing is a powerful tool that can help farmers in various fields. This article is a comprehensive review of the various ways in which satellite data and remote sensing can be used to transform agriculture, such as crop monitoring, crop yield forecasting, pest and disease detection, climate change warning, and water management. It introduces the benefits of satellite data in agriculture and explores the potential of using this technology to increase productivity, quality, and resource conservation. It also demonstrates the significant impact of satellite data on improving agricultural productivity and promoting sustainable agricultural practices through the analysis of case studies and research findings.
