What Is GIS
In
Agriculture?

4. • GIS is a tool that lets users create
multi-layered interactive maps that
can be used for the visualization
of complex data and for spatial
analysis.
• How is GIS related to
agriculture?
The use of GIS in agriculture
enables farmers to map field data,
organize and analyze it, and
monitor their crops remotely.
What is GIS in Agriculture?

5. • With the use of GIS, farmers may
maximize their land’s potential in terms
of yield increase and financial savings,
not to mention reduced environmental
effects.
• The scope of modern agriculture has
expanded beyond domestic farmlands
to encompass the entire planet. This is
why GIS solutions with constant multi-
factor danger assessments are so
crucial in today’s agriculture.

GIS Data :
How it is
done?

7. Agricultural GIS Data:
Where It Comes From And How It’s Processed
• Hardware, software, and
information all come together in GIS
technology.
• Any device, from a simple laptop or
desktop computer to something
more complex like a satellite or a
drone, can serve as the hardware.
• GIS software utilizes maps to
display spatial data.
• Images are created using a
variety of GIS technologies and
then linked to relevant maps and
data that is hidden from view.
• What you end up with is a map
not only showing the location
and overall health of your crops
but also taking into account
other relevant factors such as
terrain, soil type, and
fertilization.

8. • Remote sensing involves aerial or
satellite scans of the Earth’s
surface.
• The Landsat 8 is an observation
satellite that orbits Earth every 16
days.
• It records nine visible light bands
helping assess crop health, nutrient
content, insect infestation, or
moisture.
• Not only does Landsat 8 record
visible light, but also invisible to the
human eye thermal infrared
radiation (TIR)
Remote Sensing

9. • GPS and GIS integration lets farmers
collect real-time data, including
position.
• In other words, agriculture producers
may boost resource utilization
efficiency by employing gadgets to
precisely plot where to use these
resources on a given farm.
• GPS-enabled field mapping helps
analyze crop varieties, elevation
levels, field boundaries, irrigation
systems, etc.

Application of
GIS

11. The number of GIS applications in
agriculture has exploded in recent
years thanks to technological
advancements.

12. Presicion agriculture
• Precision agriculture GIS software
provides detailed vegetation and
productivity maps, including crop
information, for making reasonable
decisions.
• Agriculture GIS tools can identify
vegetation levels in your field or any of its
areas.
• Agriculture machinery can then use this
information to adjust seed, nutrients,
herbicides, and fertilizer amounts for
each plot.

identifying more and less productive areas in the
field.

13. Agriculture Mapping
● Soil and crop analysis can be facilitated
by satellite sensors, allowing the creation
of soil index maps and maps of
vegetation indices such as the
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index
(NDVI).
● Agriculture GIS mapping aids field
monitoring and management for
successful crop production
Comparing the NDVI and MSAVI indices to
assess vegetation at an early stage of crop
development.

14. Crop Health Monitoring
• Manually checking crops across a large area is the
slowest and most labor-intensive method of
monitoring crop health.
• Remote sensing and GIS in agriculture are lifesavers
for this.
• GIS-based precision agriculture can help you
prioritize which crops need extra care.
• Imagery sensors on satellites and aircraft provide an
advanced method for monitoring crop temperatures.
• An abnormally high temperature could indicate
disease, pest infestation, or dehydration.

15. Livestock Monitoring
• Agriculture GIS software is
essential for tracking
animals’ movements in
animal husbandry.
• GIS agriculture tools help
farmers locate livestock on a
farm and monitor their health,
growth, fertility, and nutrition.
• Animal trackers and a
portable device that can
receive and display tracker
data enable this application.

16. Insect And Pest Control
• Crop Monitoring aids in detecting
various risks, from weeds to crop
diseases, by using field-collected
vegetation indices.
• If the index map indicates low
vegetation in a small area,
meaning the possible presence of
a parasite or disease there, a scout
no longer has to investigate a large
field.
• After identifying the probable
infection zone using the vegetation
index, you can use the Scouting
feature to narrow your target area.

minimize the area for inspection with EOSDA

17. • Dry spells, as well as extreme precipitation in
low-lying areas without adequate drainage, can
ruin crop output.
• Through agriculture GIS technology, farmers
may assess the degree of water
stress experienced by each crop and recognize
visual patterns that suggest an oversupply or
deficiency of water, which can be used to
regulate irrigation.

GIS in
sustainable
agriculture

19. ● With the growing population, ensuring that
there will always be enough food for everybody
is critical.
● With the help of GIS technology, governments,
activists, scientists, and agriculture producers
may study and develop methods to ensure
food supply and, by extension, the survival of
the human species.
● For instance, the Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) has been using GIS and
other geospatial technologies to establish
sustainable food systems worldwide for over
30 years.
GIS and Sustainable Agriculture

20. • monitor water supplies and forecast
droughts;
• estimate and predict yields;
• evaluate the economic and
environmental effects of human
activities
• combine and analyze agriculture data
from several sources;
• share data and maps between
departments and organizations;
• serve as an online information and
guidance resource for local
communities.
Organizations working on sustainable development use
