1. CropSAT – opportunities for applications in precision agriculture in AfricaThe present paper aims at describing the CropSAT system, a Sentinel-2-based interactive decision support system (DSS) that provides vegetation index (VI) maps free-of-charge all across the globe for different applications in precision agriculture. We summarize research results from the ongoing developmental process and pointing to opportunities for development and application in precision agriculture in Africa. The DSS was initially developed in a research project at the Swedish University of... O. Alshihabi, I. Nouiri, M. Mechri, H. Angar, K. Piikki, J. Martinsson, M. Söderström |
2. Predicting in-Season Sorghum yield potential using Remote Sensing Approach: a case study of Kano in Sudan Savannah agro- ecological zone, NigeriaThe preliminary estimation of expected yields and the accuracy of this evaluation provide information for decision-making related to the harvest. Estimating crop yield using remote sensing techniques has proven to be successful, having the ability to provide yield estimates prior to harvest. This study was conducted to examine the applicability of Sentinel-2B for estimating sorghum yield during the 2018 rainy season in Bebeji, Dawakin-Kudu and Rano Local Government Areas Kano State, in the Sudan...

3. Evolving Potentials for Precision Climate-smart Agriculture in Sub-saharan African CountriesProgressively, there is increasing awareness on the significance of agriculture in both adaptation and mitigation to climate change. While adaptation has been typically highlighted in the most vulnerable countries, especially in Africa where the failure to adapt have been noted to exacerbate the dangers of food insecurity, there is limited effort at emphasizing mitigation as the ultimate resolution of the debacle. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is critical to achieving development irrespective... M.G. Ogunnaike, O.D. Onafeso |
