Bibliometric and social network analysis on the use of satellite imagery in agriculture: an entropy-based approach [PDF]
Satellite imagery is gaining popularity as a valuable tool to lower the impact on natural resources and increase profits for farmers. The purpose of this study is twofold: to mine the scientific literature to reveal the structure of this research domain, and to investigate to what extent scientific results can reach a wider public audience.

Earth Observation based multi-scale analysis of crop diversity in the European Union: first insights for agro-environmental policies [PDF]
To understand the resilience of farms and the agricultural sector, as well as the provision of ecosystem services, we need to characterize and quantify crop diversity. Using a 10m resolution satellite-derived product, we created datasets of crop diversity across spatial and administrative scales for 27 EU countries and the UK in 2018.
