It is a presentation on Synergy between GNSS and GIS Application for Monitoring Land use Production in Pakistan.

It contains the following:

Rationale –  Land development in countries with diverse physiography need technological interventions. Pakistan’s territorial landscape comprises, deserts, snow packed and dry mountainous ranges, arid and dry plateau, fertile agriculture lands and extensive man made irrigation system.

Introduction – Geospatial technology is operational at macro and micro scales for land use planning and management in Pakistan . Country level land use is being developed using remote sensing, GIS and GNSS technologies. Technology is also in use at farm level for monitoring of agriculture land, crops and crop production.

Integrated Approach – Geospatial technologies for baseline mapping of land use and temporal changes. Precision mapping through GNSS. Location based real me dissemination of micro level (Farms) information i.e. soil fertility, crop sown, crop production.
