by USGS Research Geographer Prasad Thenkabail

• Global food and water security challenges are real in a changing climate & ballooning populations and further exasperated by pandemics & wars.

• How did the World feed itself in the past? How will it feed itself in the future?

• Earth Observing (EO) satellites are ideal platforms to observe and study the Planet over time and space.

• Planet-scale big-data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing are leveraged to answer critical questions on World’s food & water security.
