[Satellite News 08-19-08] Economists see a bright future for Brazil’s economy, and while Brazil is insulated from a majority of the global economic downturn, surging food prices still concern the agricultural superpower.

Satellite imagery will be key in locating these resources as well as tracking soil and atmospheric conditions for plantations.”
