This volume gathers a variety of applications for remote sensing of vegetation health (VH) and concretely shows how this information can be used in service of ending hunger and of ensuring future food security. In this book’s ten chapters, Dr. Felix Kogan, one of the most prolific scientists in this sphere, shows how a new VH method, designed from operational environmental satellite data, can be used to provide advanced predictions of agricultural losses, helping to enhance food security and reducing the number of hungry people. Topics covered include the scientific basis of the VH method, drought monitoring, prediction of short-term agricultural yield and crop insurance, and impacts of long term climate variability and change on food security. A short discussion on VH for human health-related topics such as detection and prediction of malaria and fire risk is included as well.

本卷匯集了多種應用於植被健康（VH）遙感的案例，具體展示了這些資訊如何用於消除飢餓和確保未來的糧食安全。在本書的十個章節中，費利克斯·科根博士（Dr. Felix Kogan），這一領域中最具生產力的科學家之一，展示了一種基於操作性環境衛星數據的新型VH方法，如何用於提供農業損失的先進預測，幫助增強糧食安全並減少飢餓人數。涵蓋的主題包括VH方法的科學基礎、乾旱監測、短期農業產量預測和農作物保險，以及長期氣候變異和變化對糧食安全的影響。此外，還包括了一段關於VH在與人類健康相關主題中的應用討論，例如瘧疾的檢測和預測以及火災風險。
