Welcome
Several agencies within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) use remote sensing data and related technologies to support their research and operational activities. Although each agency has a different mission and responsibilities, similar data sets and technologies are used by multiple agencies to help them accomplish their objectives. The Remote Sensing Coordination Committee (RSCC) brings together experts from each of these agencies to promote information sharing within USDA and to help ensure the most efficient and cost-effective use of these data and technologies by the Department.
