The evolution of remote sensing techniques, the rising availability of increasingly accurate and reliable technologies and the
widening provision of precise and detailed data constitute the framework within which more and more specific sectors use remote
sensing. Agriculture is one of the sectors where different applications of remote sensing can prove their effectiveness as they offer
the possibility of gaining new perspectives, detecting phenomena not visible from the ground and in replacing man when inspecting
territories dangerous, contaminated or difficult to access is necessary. Present paper aims to illustrate remote sensing techniques
currently available in olive growing, highlighting their advantages in terms of optimisation of production processes and natural
resources exploitation, environmental footprint, traceability of final products and monitoring of yield.
