Analysis of paddy production reduction using remote sensing and GIS in Kedah / Muhammad Adib Farhan Azman and Ilhan Arif Juaini

Paddy reductions reduction in Kedah, Malaysia, represent an important risk to regional food supplies and the economy of agriculture. This study uses advanced remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to analyze the factors that have led to this reduction. The goals of this research are to use GIS to identify the factors causing paddy production reductions, to apply Kriging for predicting changes in rainfall patterns, and to create soil maps that support methods for sustainable farming. Remote sensing was implemented to detect land use changes, showing the impacts of development growth and agricultural change.
