Spatial big-data analytics for agricultural intensification and crop diversification in rice fallows
Supply-demand gap of agricultural commodities continues to rise while total arable land area is
not expected to increase significantly in India. Future increases in agricultural production will be
contingent upon agricultural ...
BigData and ICT for pest surveillance and risk mapping
The date palm is prone to several pests and diseases under changing climate coupled with inadequate and/or lack of proper management,cultural practices and early detection. Red Palm Weevil (RPW) is the most devastating ...
Systems Approach to Link Big Socio-ecological Geo-data to Food Systems Sustainability
Rapid development of multi-dimensionally, multi-scale, timely updated socio-ecological geodata
presents an opportunity as potential information resource for supporting effective decisionmaking
of stakeholders involved with ...

conference paper about Remote Spectral Imaging Using a Low Cost UAV System for Monitoring Rangelands presented at 1st Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (1st CAJG), which will be held on November 12–15, 2018 ...
Monitoring water use in agricultural fields of Saudi Arabia
With growing population, urbanization and irrigated agriculture, water shortages are increasing in arid
regions. In 2012, freshwater consumption for the agricultural sector in Saudi Arabia was estimated at
86%. Accurate ...
Livestock and Forage Production in Afghanistan
Livestock production is an important contributor to livelihoods within rural areas and accounts for close
to half of Afghanistan’s agricultural GDP. Key constraints to ruminant production are insufficient feed
stocks, lack ...
Searching for adaptive traits in genetic resources – phenology based approach
Phenology is an important plant trait not only for assessing and forecasting food production but also for
searching in genebanks for adaptive traits. Among the phenological parameters we have been considering to
search for ...
Remote sensing based assessment of the dynamics of crop productivity and spatial production pattern across the Fergana Valley, Central Asia
Agricultural production systems are a vital lifeline of the rural farming community in Central Asia. However, shrinking natural resource base, increased land degradation and severe irrigation water scarcity render current ...
Agro-Geoinformatics for Nourishing Drylands: A shift in paradigm from landscape to farmscape for ensuring food security and better livelihoods
Geospatial technologies are becoming an integral part of solving the food security equation
from an integrated research and development, aid better intervention and delivery programs,
policy, and outreach. A recent advance ...
Quantification of the Terrestrial Phytomass and Carbon in the Mountainous Forest Ecosystem Using Remote Sensing and in-Situ Observations
The aim of this research was to develop an understanding of how mountainous forests function in relation to forest phytomass and
carbon accumulation in the terrestrial vegetation pools which will help develop options for ...
