农业部与NASA签署合作备忘录：以地球观测与人工智能提升农业统计
华盛顿——美国农业部10月24日宣布，农业部长布鲁克·罗林斯与国家航空航天局（NASA）局长贾里德·艾萨克曼已签署农业部与NASA之间的合作谅解备忘录，即日生效。备忘录旨在借助地球观测、地理空间分析与统计方法，提升农业部的数据质量，服务于农业统计与种植面积、产量估算。
合作领域包括：任务与数据对齐；数据获取与基础设施（NASA档案、云原生地理空间格式与应用程序接口）；方法与验证（作物长势、产量模型、灾害影响评估）；以及人工智能与机器学习的应用。
据农业部介绍，双方的合作讨论始于2025年12月，此前特朗普总统签署了第14369号行政令《确保美国太空优势》。此次合作将支持罗林斯上月推出的农业部数据现代化计划。备忘录与数据现代化计划全文已在农业部官网公布。

USDA and NASA Sign MOU to Modernize Agricultural Data With Earth Observation and AI
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced on October 24 that Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins and NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman have signed a memorandum of understanding between USDA and NASA, effective immediately. The MOU aims to strengthen USDA's data quality using Earth observation, geospatial analytics and statistical methodologies, in support of agricultural statistics and acreage and yield estimation.
Cooperation areas include mission and data alignment; data access and infrastructure, including NASA archives, cloud-native geospatial formats and APIs; methodology and validation covering crop condition, yield models and disaster impact; and applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
According to USDA, partnership discussions began in December 2025, after President Trump issued Executive Order 14369, "Ensuring American Space Superiority." The effort supports the USDA Data Modernization Plan that Rollins launched last month. The full MOU and the Data Modernization Plan are published on USDA's website.
