Why is it important?

Remote sensing is known for the purpose of getting critical information from the environment, combined with GIS, this information can now be easily shared with the government and with the farmers for proper mitigation and immediate action. The study of remote sensing and GIS for climate change and agriculture to get wide range of environmental data can be used to provide the farm operators with precision maps, crop information, yield estimation and much more which is very beneficial not only for the farmers but also with the government so they can provide necessary projects to help the farmers.
