Applications
- 3.8.1 Pasture Monitoring — Continuous satellite-derived measurement of pasture biomass, greenness and degradation across national rangelands to inform stocking decisions and prevent overgrazing.
- 3.8.2 Livestock Tracking — Continuously locating individual animals or herds across vast and remote rangeland using satellite-linked IoT tags and low-power wide-area networks.
- 3.8.3 Grazing Optimization — Using multi-spectral satellite imagery and vegetation indices to prescribe rotational grazing schedules that prevent overgrazing and maximise pasture productivity.
- 3.8.4 Animal Health Intelligence — Using satellite-derived environmental and land-surface data to predict, detect and contain livestock disease outbreaks before they cross borders or collapse national herds.
- 3.8.5 Water Availability Monitoring — Tracking surface water extent, soil moisture and watering-point status across rangelands to prevent livestock losses from water stress before they become irreversible.
