This book sheds new light on the remote sensing of agriculture in South/Southeast Asian (S/SEA) countries. S/SEA countries are growing rapidly in terms of population, industrialization, and urbanization. One of the critical challenges in the region is food security. In S/SEA, although total food production and productivity have increased in previous decades, in recent years, the growth rate of food production has slowed down, mostly due to land use change, market forces and policy interventions. Further, the weather and climate systems in the region driven primarily by monsoon variability are resulting in droughts or flooding, impacting agricultural production. Therefore, monitoring crops, including agricultural land cover changes at regular intervals, is essential to predict and prepare for disruptions in the food supply in the S/SEA countries.
The current book captures the latest research on the remote sensing of agricultural land cover/ land use changes, including mapping and monitoring crops, crop yields, biophysical parameter retrievals, multi-source data fusion for agricultural applications, and chapters on decision making and early warning systems for food security. The authors of this book are international experts in the field, and their contributions highlight the use of remote sensing and geospatial technologies for agricultural research and applications in South/Southeast Asia.

He is also leading the South/Southeast Research Initiative (www.sari.umd.edu), a regional initiative of the NASA LCLUC program. He has more than 20 years of research experience in satellite remote sensing. Dr. Vadrevu gained his Ph.D. in 2000 while working at the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), India. He worked with the interdisciplinary team of agricultural scientists at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC), the Ohio State University, USA, on remote sensing of agroecosystems and organic farming field experiments (2001-2010). He then focused on various LCLUC projects, including vegetation fires in developing countries at the University of Maryland, College Park (2010-2016). He joined NASA in 2016. Dr. Vadrevu served as PI and Co-I on projects funded by NASA, USDA, and NSF on LCLUC, biomass burning/greenhouse gas emissions, land-atmospheric interactions, agricultural carbon cycling, and ecosystem sustainability. He has more than a hundred publications in peer-reviewed journals and books.
