New innovative sensors carried on earth observation instruments, tractors and field measuring devices are constantly collecting high resolution, multitemporal and multispectral data, which are supplement and integrate the data collected with more traditional approaches. GIS and other geospatial technologies shape this data into information that is accessible and interpretable by farmers and land managers to make efficient and informed decisions. At the same time, geospatial analyses of the human impact on the environment is crucial for a better understanding of the underlying relationships and processes. Advanced Earth Observation technologies and Geoinformatics are paving the way towards a better understanding of ecological and environmental interactions, identifying early indicators of environmental degradation and improving our capacity for risk assessment, timely forecast and response. Every single year brings much progress in Remote Sensing, GIS, and spatial analysis methodologies and technologies in agriculture and environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This topic will summarize the contemporary progress and achievements of Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics, highlight the recent advancements, and present applications in a wide spectrum of topics related to Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics in agriculture and environment.
