Between 2001 and 2019, satellites watched 250,000 farming areas across the world, revealing how government payments, crop rules and conservation measures can slowly restore degraded cropland and strengthen food security

Research conducted by the University of Bonn reveals that agri-environmental policies worldwide are beneficial for cropland quality. Analyzing satellite data spanning from 2001 to 2019, the study highlights how financial support and regulations effectively address land degradation. The results emphasize the importance of robust governmental structures and investments for successful implementation, indicating a path toward enhanced land quality and food security.
