NASA Acres

NASA Acres is NASA's U.S.-focused agriculture and food security Consortium of more than 25 top-of-the field scientists and practitioners in agricultural remote sensing, artificial intelligence, soil science, specialty crop, row crop, rangeland agronomy, sociology, economics, and data policy. The Consortium is led by the University of Maryland with Research, Development, and Extension Partners at nine other universities and two supporting private organizations. OUR MISSION NASA Acres brings the value of Earth observation (EO) technology down to Earth. We bridge the gap from space-to-farm and education-to-impact together with U.S. farmers, ranchers, and other agrifood system decision makers who are charged with addressing the most pressing challenges to sustainable, productive, and resilient agriculture, both today and into the next generation.
