NASA Leverages Space Tech and AI to Boost Hawaii's Food Security
• NASA is using satellite imagery and AI to help transform modern farming and address food security issues • Created detailed spatial crop maps and food production dashboards for Maui County to increase efficiency • Data helps monitor crop health, soil conditions, water usage to influence decisions on increasing production • Maps showed areas impacted by wildfires to quickly distribute $7.5M in aid to affected residents • Projects aim to help Hawaii, which allocates little funding to agriculture, become less dependent on imports
