New Satellite Method Detects Tillage Practices in US Midwest
Original: Detecting Tillage Practices from Space: A New Approach to Monitoring Conservation Agriculture in the US Midwest
A new approach uses satellite imagery to detect tillage practices across the US Midwest, offering a way to monitor conservation agriculture at scale. Researchers say remote sensing could track whether farmers are adopting reduced or no-till methods, information that has been difficult and costly to gather on the ground across large farm regions.
Why now: Interest in monitoring conservation agriculture and soil health practices has grown as climate and farm policy attention increases.
