Proximal remote sensing can bridge the gap between individual plants and landscape wide measurements, providing continuous data at a high-spatiotemporal resolution, enabling us to address key ecological questions unanswerable from space-based observations alone.
A new paper summarizes methods, data sources and proximal remote applications. It gives guidance on best practices and valuable directions for future research.
We provide protocol development and data processing expertise in support of this IFPRI led project to mitigate basic risk in smallholder farmer insurance.
