Healthy soil is key to farming success, supporting water retention, root growth and nutrient cycling. However, tracking conditions and understanding how management choices affect them over time remains difficult – especially amid challenges such as drought, increasing weather variability and maximizing crop yields.
The newly funded TerraScope project at CSU addresses that gap. In it, the team plans to use AI to combine on-the-ground measurements and remote sensing data; paired with advanced simulations, this will reveal patterns and relationships farmers can act on that would otherwise be invisible when viewed in isolation.
