We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Agriculture Production Data Access and Tools
NASA’s end-to-end Earth observations enable agricultural producers to make informed decisions about global market conditions, in-season crop conditions, severe weather, and sustainability. Explore datasets related to agriculture production and the related tools that can help you make the most of your data.

Featured Agriculture Production Observation Method: SMAP
NASA's Soil Moisture Active-Passive (SMAP) satellite measures surface soil conditions everywhere on Earth every two to three days, distinguishing between ground that is frozen or thawed. In ground that is not frozen or covered in water, SMAP measures how much water is in the top layer of soil.
GIBS now has Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) layers available for soil moisture and temperature, snow mass, heterotrophic respiration, and more.
NASA's SMAP team turns raw satellite data into more than a dozen data products for data users around the world.
