Soil Mapping and Monitoring
Advancements in space technology has opened application possibilities of remote sensing in soil mapping. Soils can be mapped at a detailed level where the pattern of soils in individual fields can be identified.
Agricultural Policy Making
Adequate soil information is necessary for policy decisions, particularly in a context of increasing economic and social integration.
Improved Soil Management Techniques
The inherent properties of soils, be it resilience against degradation or fertility level, have to be known to implement adapted soil management techniques.
