Adjunct Professor Krishna Prasad Vadrevu with co-editors Professor Chris Justice, Thuy Le Toan (CESBIO, France) and Shibendu Shankar Ray (Mahalanobis National Crop Forecasting Center, Ministry of Agriculture, India) recently published a book entitled Remote Sensing of Agriculture and Land Cover/Land Use Changes in South and Southeast Asian Countries.

The book provides a focus on remote sensing in agriculture in South/Southeast Asian countries, including a description of the latest algorithms, tools and techniques in remote sensing specific to agriculture and methodologies to aid the development of operating tools for crop mapping and monitoring. The book has 34 chapters from 200 authors, including contributions from regional space agency scientists on agriculture/crop monitoring including from NASA LCLUC agriculture projects, NASA Harvest, JAXA (Japan), GISTDA (Thailand), ISRO-Mahalonobis Crop Forecasting Center, Ministry of Agriculture (India), International Rice Research Institute (IRRI, Philippines). The book also covers popular rice mapping and monitoring international projects in the region such as Asia-Rice.

Unfortunately, one of the books editors, Dr. Shibendu Ray (Head at the Mahalanobis National Crop Forecast Center, Ministry of Agriculture, India), passed away on May 4th, 2021, due to COVID and could not see the book to fruition.
