This volume gathers a variety of applications for remote sensing of
vegetation health (VH) and concretely shows how this information
can be used in service of ending hunger and of ensuring future food
security. In this book's ten chapters, Dr. Felix Kogan, one of the
most prolific scientists in this sphere, shows how a new VH method,
designed from operational environmental satellite data, can be used
to provide advanced predictions of agricultural losses, helping to
enhance food security and reducing the number of hungry people.
Topics covered include the scientific basis of the VH method,
drought monitoring, prediction of short-term agricultural yield and
crop insurance, and impacts of long term climate variability and
change on food security. A short discussion on VH for human
health-related topics such as detection and prediction of malaria
and fire risk is included as well.
