"text": "## Farming and Climate \r\n\r\nPlants sustain all animal life on our planet, and have adapted to live in almost all parts of it – on land, in lakes and rivers, and in the oceans. From the vantage point of space we can see that plants in some regions are far more productive than others. By seeing how productivity changes through the growing season we can identify and map different types of land cover. Year-to-year comparison allows us to track changes across the globe. \r\n\r\nChanging how we use the land not only affects the plants that grow on it, but also the movement of carbon, nutrients and water. It is estimated that 70 per cent of the fresh water we use goes to support agriculture. \r\n\r\nBut changing how we use the land also affects the climate. The clearing of tropical forests for agriculture releases the carbon stored in wood and soil, as well as weakening one of the world’s major carbon sinks. About a quarter of human greenhouse gas emissions arise directly from agriculture and forestry, and this figure rises to a third when the entire food supply chain is included.",

"text": "## Precision Agriculture \r\n\r\nHumans currently use about 70 per cent of our planet’s ice-free land surface. The good news is that this land could potentially be three or four times more productive: if we use the land more efficiently we can significantly increase the amount of food grown. Space technology, including the satellites we use to monitor the climate and forecast the weather, can help.\r\n\r\nSatellite instruments using infrared wavelengths can monitor the health of plants throughout the year. Combining this information with weather forecasts and measurements of, for example, soil moisture and land surface temperature and atmospheric composition can show us which fields need to be irrigated or fertilised, by what amount, and when. Satellite observations can help quantify crop loss after extreme events, easing access to insurance payments for small farmers. Precise satellite navigation can also guide ploughing, sowing, weeding, pest control and harvesting. \r\n\r\nThis ‘precision agriculture’ can help farmers to optimise yields while reducing the chance of using up supplies of freshwater or polluting rivers, lakes and the oceans. With mobile phone networks and smartphones, services like this are becoming available even to smallholders in remote areas. Farmers across the world have scope to grow more while using less, making agriculture not only more sustainable but also more resilient to extreme events. \r\n\r\nChanges such as these can help us achieve the sustainable development goal of zero hunger, including food security, improved nutrition and sustainable agriculture, so that everyone in our growing world has enough to eat.",
