Listen "Observing Earth to help our farmers"

Episode Synopsis

Earth observation satellites can provide a wealth of data that can't be gathered at ground level – and a lot of this data, such as land use and vegetation, is useful for agriculture.   SmartSat CRC's "Maya Nula" project aims to use Earth observation technology to help the agriculture industry develop sustainable farming techniques and improve its climate resilience.   In this episode of the Space Connect podcast, Dr Jasmine Muir discusses how Maya Nula will help secure our food supply and why Australia needs sovereign Earth-observation capability.
