Answer:

India's population is bound to cross 1.6 billion by 2050, which will demand doubling of our food grain production to ensure food security to all our people. There is inevitable need of increasing the food grain production and enhancing the agricultural productivity without degrading the environment. This necessitates focus on development of rain-fed areas, degraded lands, analysis of cropping system, proper monitoring and management of agricultural practices, assessing the impact of droughts and floods and so on. Since past many years, remote sensing technology is being effectively used in various aspects of agriculture crop management and planning in support of timely import/export decisions and enhancing food security.
