ABSTRACT
The task of balancing problems associated with population growth and food production has often been impaired by a lack of accurate information on food supply availability in any given region or time. Such data has conventionally been gathered by legions of field workers who must travel to individual farms and collect information by hand. Predictably, data collection has been slow, error-prone, and difficult to maintain. There is therefore a need to develop tools and techniques that can quickly and accurately generate relevant and up-to-date information on food production.

Forest fire risk zone mapping from satellite imagery and GIS
A forest fire can be a real ecological disaster, regardless of whether it is caused by natural forces or human activity. It is impossible to control nature, but it is possible to map forest fire risk zones and thereby minimise the frequency of fire, ...
