Abstract
Sustainable agricultural development requires a systematic effort towards the planning of land use activities in the most appropriate way, apart from several other institutional and policy programmed initiative. Remote sensing can provide valuable and timely information about natural resources and environment as an important basis for sustainable development. Geographic information systems (GIS) can provide effective tools for decision makers. Both RS and GIS techniques are important geometric tools which are extensively utilized in developed countries. This technology is also used for land use planning and soil mapping. Modern tools such as satellite remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS) have been providing newer dimensions to effectively monitor and manage land uses in an integrated manner for agricultural characterization. Remote sensor and G.I.S. is an excellent tool that is increasingly important in the detection, description, quantification and monitoring environmental changes is remote sensing, which, in combination with geographic information systems and fieldwork, is an effective management tool.
