NASA Acres applies satellite data solutions to the most pressing challenges facing U.S. agriculture.
We are NASA’s U.S.-focused agriculture and food security Consortium. We work with people across the agriculture sector, including farmers, ranchers, and other agrifood system stakeholders, to develop Earth observation (EO)-based data and tools that strengthen U.S. agriculture.
A Consortium Approach
NASA Acres is commissioned under NASA’s Applied Sciences Program and led by the University of Maryland with over 30 partner institutions and growing.
The consortium approach brings together public and private sectors, and allows for flexible partnerships and rapid action in delivering the benefits of NASA data and tools to U.S. agriculture decision makers.
We co-develop our projects through nationwide partnerships. Together we develop user-driven, fit-for-purpose Earth observation (EO) products, tools, and applications to empower U.S. agriculture to be more sustainable, productive, and resilient.
