Application of remote sensing and GIS for climate change and agriculture in Philippines

This study aims to analyze the application of remote sensing and GIS for climate change and agriculture in the Philippines to utilize the information gathered by the GIS and Remote Sensor to empower the farmers by having a full view of the farms health. Due to the unpredictable change in the weather today, crops and other sector in agriculture hardly adopt with continuous change which results to the loss of huge amount of its resources. Based on the report from Department of Agriculture, a huge amount of investment is loss year after a year due to an irregular change of the weather and the agency themselves are having a hard time dealing with this matter and without valuable information or data to be use for analysis, it will be much harder to deal with. Remote sensing is known for the purpose of getting critical information from the environment, combined with GIS, this information can now be easily shared with the government and with the farmers for proper mitigation and immediate action. The study of remote sensing and GIS for climate change and agriculture to get wide range of environmental data can be used to provide the farm operators with precision maps, crop information, yield estimation and much more which is very beneficial not only for the farmers but also with the government so they can provide necessary projects to help the farmers.
