Satellite data showing the annual variation in vegetation is combined with a graph of hive weight for a beehive in Highland, Maryland. 3625 Honey Bees Weigh In on Climate
How will climate change impact agriculture? This episode explores the need for accurate, continuous and accessible data and computer models to track and predict the challenges farmers face as they adjust to a changing climate.<p><p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10516 Science for a Hungry World: Agriculture and Climate Change
One of the biggest changes to global agriculture is less about the food itself as it is about the water we use to grow it. In some areas, farmers are using freshwater resources - including groundwater - at an alarming rate. The GRACE satellites enable scientists to discover changes to underground aquifers by monitoring changes in the Earth's gravity. In northern India, farmers rely heavily on irrigation to grow crops, and the resulting massive aquifer depletion creates an uncertain future for the region. <p><p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10512 Science for a Hungry World: Growing Water Problems
Sponsored by USAID, the Famine Early Warning System Network (FEWS NET) was designed to help governments and aid agencies assess the need for food aid before a famine develops. This episode describes FEWS NET and looks at how FEWS NET uses NASA data to make decisions on the ground.<p><p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10500 Science for a Hungry World: Food Security
NASA remote sensing data is used to measure how much land is used for agriculture and where farms are in relation to population density. This episode explore the transition between native vegetation, farms, and cities. Satellites show where land use changes have been most significant.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10496 Science for a Hungry World: Land Cover Land Use Change
Every day, NASA collects information vital to food production all over the world. This information is a valuable asset. NASA's mission: to give it away for free. With the data they collect, teams of NASA researchers and their partners at the USDA Foreign Agriculture Service, USAID Famine Early Warning Network (FEWS NET), NOAA, and several major universities including the University of Maryland, work to increase crop yields, ease famine, and keep the global agricultural system functioning.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10491 Science For a Hungry World: NASA's Partners
As the first of six episodes, Science for a Hungry World: Part 1 sets the groundwork for explaining why NASA data is critical to ensure a stable global food system. This video reveals how satellite remote sensing data provide the world with essential information like the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, or NDVI, which allows scientists and governments to see the health of crops on a global scale. This video reinforces the idea that a unique perspective from space is essential for continuous global agricultural monitoring and accurate forecasting.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10490 Science For a Hungry World: Introduction
Water specialists Rick Allen, Bill Kramber and Tony Morse have created an innovative satellite-based method that maps agricultural water consumption. The team uses Landsat thermal band data to measure the amount of water evaporating from the soil and transpiring from plants' leaves. Evapotranspiring water absorbs energy, so farm fields consuming more water appear cooler in the thermal band. The Landsat observations provide an objective way for water managers to assess on a field-by-field basis how much water agricultural growers are using. Landsat is a joint program of NASA and the US Geological Survey.<p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10484 Landsat: A Space Age Water Gauge
This short animation illustrates two scenarios. The first depicts plants blooming at the same time bees emerge to forage for nectar and pollen. The second depicts an earlier bloom, where flowers bloom before bees are ready to forage. The flowers miss out on getting pollinated, and the bees miss their chance to gather nectar and pollen. 10482 Honey Bees and Climate Change Animations
