    Agriculture Fields Diversity

    Explore the Diversity of Agricultural Production Through Satellite Views

    This interactive animation invites you to discover the variety of agricultural production systems by exploring four key food items—tomato, corn, palm oil, and beef—each produced in three distinct types of farms. Through satellite imagery at different altitudes, you can examine the impact of these farming practices on land use.

    How to Use the Animation

    Step into Different Perspectives

    Choose a location and explore the diversity of agricultural practices worldwide. Adjust the altitude to reveal different levels of detail and observe how farms integrate into their landscapes.

    • 🌍 Satellite View (300 km altitude) From space, agricultural sites may blend into the environment. But upon closer inspection… patterns emerge.

    • ✈️ Plane View (20 km altitude) Flying over the land, agricultural plots become more distinct, showing the extent of farming operations.

    • 🚁 Drone View (up to 500 m altitude) Drones provide a closer look at farm structures, enabling detailed exploration of each installation.

    • 🚶 Pedestrian View Experience farming from ground level, just as you would on a real farm visit.

    Take advantage of this dynamic tool to compare agricultural systems, assess land use, and better understand the scale of food production worldwide.
