Exploring land use changes and economic development in India (IMAGE)
Caption
In the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, a satellite image shows hundreds of green aquaculture ponds where local farmers grow fish and shrimp. Geospatial imaging holds enormous potential for developing nations to address challenges related to agriculture, poverty, health and human migration, scholars at UC Berkeley say. But until now, the technology and expertise needed to efficiently access and analyze satellite data usually has been limited to developed countries.
