The main source of food comes from agriculture, depending on the factors of environment, light, temperature, water, air, soil, plants grow and develop. One way of efficiently monitor the development process of the plants is remote sensing. Using free-of-charge data, such as Sentinel-2, we can compare the condition of the harvest in different years with the help of the various indices computed from the many satellite bands, bands in the visible spectrum with a resolution of 10 m and the invisible spectrum, resolution shifting between 20 and 60 m. In this study, we want to focus on climate change and how it affects the condition of crops using satellite data for three consecutive years in the same area. Lack of precipitation and abnormal temperatures for certain periods of the year can affect crops and reduce food quality and quantities.
