Amul and ISRO, have announced a tie-up for the benefit of dairy farmers by signing an MoU envisaging fodder acreage assessment using satellite technology.
The main objective of this MoU is identification/discrimination between food crops and fodder crops and identifying suitable areas of current fallows and cultivable wastelands at the village level.
Amul believes that the development and growth of dairy animals is associated with availability of fodder from cultivable land, forest, pastures and grazing lands, which is crucial for enhancing milk production and survival of bovines.
