(Approx. 2 min reading)

This section present keynote and expert talks recorded during the Workshop on Multi-Source Remote Sensing for Agriculture, held on September 10th, 2025, at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) in Müncheberg, Germany. Together, they provide complementary perspectives on the evolving role of remote sensing technologies in agricultural monitoring and sustainable resource management under changing climatic conditions.

The first presentation, by Prof. Dr. Patrick Hostert (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), offers a forward-looking overview of optical remote sensing in agriculture, tracing its historical development and highlighting future opportunities up to 2030. The second presentation, by Dr. Gohar Ghazaryan (ZALF), presents the synergistic use of Artificial Intelligence and multi-source remote sensing, emphasizing the growing potential of data-driven approaches for precision agriculture and climate resilience. Both talks set the stage for understanding how technological innovation, data integration, and scientific collaboration are reshaping agricultural observation and decision-making worldwide.
