Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of remote sensing has emerged as a catalyst for transformation in agriculture, offering unprecedented insights and possibilities for sustainable practices. Rapid advancements in sensor technologies, coupled with sophisticated methodologies, have ushered in an era where remote sensing plays a pivotal role in revolutionizing agricultural sustainability. The capacity to collect, analyze, and interpret data from diverse sources has empowered researchers and practitioners to address challenges ranging from crop management to environmental impact with unprecedented precision.

In the dynamic agricultural landscape, the convergence of state-of-the-art remote sensing technologies and sustainable practices provides fertile ground for exploration and innovation. This Special Issue serves as a crucible for the latest breakthroughs in utilizing remote sensing data to propel sustainable agriculture forward. In addition to the areas already highlighted, articles may address, but are not limited to, the following topics:

  • Remote sensing applications for precise crop health monitoring and accurate yield prediction.
  • Implementation of precision agriculture techniques utilizing satellite, aerial, and ground-based remote sensing technologies.
  • Assessment of the impact of land use changes on sustainable agriculture.
  • Monitoring and effective management of water resources in agriculture through remote sensing.
  • Integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence with remote sensing data for robust decision support in agriculture.
  • Evaluation of the environmental impact of agricultural activities through the lens of remote sensing.
  • Exploring innovative applications of remote sensing in developing and enhancing models for crop growth, aiming to optimize agricultural practices.
  • Investigating the influence of pests and diseases on crop production through the lens of remote sensing, with a focus on precision monitoring and management.

This systematic review explores the role of remote sensing technology in addressing the requirements of sustainable olive growing, set against the backdrop of growing global food demands and contemporary environmental constraints in agriculture. The critical analysis presented in this document assesses different remote sensing platforms (satellites, manned aircraft vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles and terrestrial equipment) and sensors (RGB, multispectral, thermal, hyperspectral and LiDAR), emphasizing their strategic selection based on specific study aims and geographical scales. Focusing on olive growing, particularly prominent in the Mediterranean region, this article analyzes the diverse applications of remote sensing, including the management of inventory and irrigation; detection/monitoring of diseases and phenology; and estimation of crucial parameters regarding biophysical parameters, water stress indicators, crop evapotranspiration and yield. Through a global perspective and insights from studies conducted in diverse olive-growing regions, this review underscores the potential benefits of remote sensing in shaping and improving sustainable agricultural practices, mitigating environmental impacts and ensuring the economic viability of olive trees.
