Remote sensing of grassland consists of acquiring information on the state and condition of grasslands without physically coming into contact with them. This procedure entails collecting data with sensors (cameras, scanners, radiometers, etc.) mounted on platforms (tractors, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), aircraft and satellites). This data is recorded on a suitable media and processed with the help of mathematical algorithms to translate it into relevant information for grassland management. The method has had limited uptake and the benefits to the average farmer have not been clearly demonstrated, although it could potentially have considerable utility on larger farms and estates.

FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).
This factsheet explains how bringing a team of farmer, vet, feed and farm advisors together is sharing different sources of knowledge together, making the Multi Actor Farm Health approach an effective approach to improve biosecurity on poultry farms
