Welcome to the
"Adopt a Farm" website that provides educational resources about
agriculture, remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The
goals of this website are to:
1) Educate people
living in urban and rural communities how spatial information can be used
to to improve resource management decisions in agriculture and
2) Explain how these decisions
affect people in urban and rural communities not actively involved
agricultural production.
We will attempt to add
value to the data by showing the human and biological side of agriculture
production to the general public.
