This paper intends to briefly review the current state of development of satellite remote sensing techniques within a number of key-areas of great agricultural and environmental interest. The aim will be to identify data-sources and methodologies
, which may be brought into practical use in (some) developing countries at the present time, as well as data-sources and methodologies, which will require further research and development.
Institute of Geography supports Centre de Suivi Ecologique by developing methodologies and software for satellite based environmental monitoring. The development of an image processing system includes implementation of basic satellite image
