NASA Uses AI and Satellites to Boost Hawaii's Food Self-Sufficiency
- NASA project uses AI and satellites to track detailed crop data on farms in Maui, Hawaii
- Goal is to help Hawaii become more food self-sufficient and address supply chain issues
- Dashboard monitors crop health, predicts yields, and quickly responds to potential shortfalls
- Combines satellite imagery with on-the-ground farm surveys to feed predictive crop models
- Could help identify suitable farmland, recommend alternate crops, and optimize cultivation
