this link goes to a really interesting article I found in BBC's technology section. It talks about using satellite imaging on vineyards to determine "vine leaf density, soil water content and grape bunch sizes." This system has helped the French and will help the English produce top quality grapes.
I always knew that Europeans cared a great deal about their wine but using a satellite is really intense.
This article also made me think how our drinking age is far higher than that in European countries yet, the US has more alcohol related accidents and problems overall. If we're ever going to lower the drinking age we definitely need to take a page out of the French and English book; don't abuse alcohol! Also, we should use this imaging satellite on other crops to ensure larger harvests. Farming 2.0, that's the future right there.
