    Remote sensing gathers information without physical contact, using machines like satellites and sensors. It optimizes agriculture by monitoring climate, soil, and crop conditions, replacing human observation. Benefits include continuous data collection, uniform interpretation, real-time sharing, accurate decisions, and structured records. It enhances climate monitoring, nutrition, irrigation, pest management, and crop inspection.
