have become integral to providing protein-rich diets [2]. The almond tree (_Prunus dulcis_ (Mill.) [PERSON]) stands out as a profitable and nutritionally significant crop, with attributes including anti-inflammatory and hypocholesterolem properties [3]. In addition, the by-products of the almond (skin, shell and hull) contain important bioactive compounds that have been shown to be effective in preventing degenerative diseases [4]. Notably, the almond industry has experienced substantial growth, with the United States of America (USA) and Spain emerging as leading producers [5]. These two countries are not only leading producers of almonds but are also top consumers [6]. A comprehensive overview of country-specific almond production and consumption is presented in Table 1[5]. This table encapsulates key data, providing insights into the production and consumption dynamics of these globally significant almond-producing nations. \begin{table}

Table 1: Major almond producers and consumers: 2022 rankings. To address the escalating demand for almonds and ensure sustainable production, modern agricultural technologies and continuous crop monitoring are imperative [7]. The challenges posed by climate change, including water stress and disease outbreaks, further accentuate the need for advanced agricultural management strategies [8; 9]. In response, Remote Sensing (RS) technologies have proven invaluable in monitoring and managing these challenges, offering a crucial tool for precision agriculture [10]. Over recent decades, RS has evolved into a prominent scientific field, using techniques to measure Earth's physical aspects through reflected or emitted radiation [11]. Advancements in data processing, geographical information systems (GIS), and global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have expanded the applications of RS, making it an essential tool for monitoring agricultural landscapes [11]. This study focuses on a relatively new field within RS--the application of RS technologies in almond orchard monitoring and management. The aim of this systematic review is to bridge existing gaps in almond cultivation research, particularly in the context of RS applications. This study spans the period from 2010 to 2023. The decision to limit this review to studies conducted between 2010 and 2023 is driven by the need to provide a current and comprehensive analysis of RS applications in almond orchards. This temporal restriction enables a more precise and pertinent evaluation of recent trends, technological progress and shifts in agricultural practices that impact the effectiveness of RS applications. This recent period allows for an in-depth exploration of current demands and innovations, ensuring a review that is aligned with the current state of scientific knowledge.
