GEO Agriculture Monitoring CoP • Several global/regional scale agricultural monitoring systems in place – with common data needs, few common standards and protocols and inconsistent results • Most countries have a national agricultural monitoring system • GEO can facilitate coordination and provide value added on use of EO

  5. Expected Achievements by 2015 (3 years) Task Components • Complete Phase 1 Implementation of G20 GEOGLAM (GEO Global Agricultural Monitoring) • Complete Phase 1 of the Joint Experiments on Crop Assessment and Monitoring (JECAM) Task Cross Cutting Elements (from Ag 0703) – will be incorporated in GEOGLAM • Coordinated Data Initiatives for Global Agricultural Monitoring (CDIGAM). • Community of Practice Thematic and Regional strategic workshops (GLAMSS)

  6. Context for Improved Agricultural Monitoring • World prices of wheat, rice, corn, and soybeans rose 226% from 2002 2008 • Between June of 2010 and May 2011 price of wheat increased by over 80% • The recent price increases have pushed an additional 44 million people into poverty (FAO) • 2011 Horn of Africa drought left over 13 million in need of food aid (FAO) Wheat Monthly Crop Prices:2001-2011 Source: IMF (index Mundi) 2010-11 Russia drought 2007-2008 Drought Aust/Ukr US $ per Metric Ton April 2001 April 2002 April 2003 April 2004 April 2005 April 2006 April 2007 April 2008 April 2009 April 2010 April 2011

  19. Ag 01 need for high frequency moderate resolution observations: Sentinel 2A and B – LDCM Longitude: 1.4  34.6 Latitude: 44.4  51.6 • The picture shows the number of times LDCM and the Sentinel 2 satellites accessed areas on the ground over an 80 day period of time. • 21 accesses indicates a maximum revisit interval of ~3 days 19 hours • 46 accesses indicates a minimum revisit interval of ~1 day 18 hours The large number of blue colored bands (>41 accesses) indicate that the revisit interval over the majority of the region is on the order of 2 days. 21 Courtesy Brian Killough, NASA LARC

  31. Expected Achievements by 2015 Task Components • Complete Phase 1 Implementation of G20 GEOGLAM (GEO Global Agricultural Monitoring) • Complete Phase 1 of the Joint Experiments on Crop Assessment and Monitoring (JECAM) Task Cross Cutting Elements (from Ag 0703) – will be incorporated in GEOGLAM • Coordinated Data Initiatives for Global Agricultural Monitoring (CDIGAM). • Community of Practice Thematic and Regional strategic workshops (GLAMSS)

  32. A network of distributed regional experiments on cropland pilot sites around the world representing a range of agricultural systems (new sites can be considered) Shared time-series datasets from a variety of earth observing satellites and in-situ data and assess them for agricultural assessment and monitoring Facilitated inter-comparison of monitoring and modeling methods, product accuracy assessments, data fusion and product integration, for agricultural monitoring Development of community standards and protocols for monitoring in the framework of GEOGLAM Sentinel 2 Symposium, JECAM Side Event

  33. General JECAM Site Characteristics: • JECAM sites are relatively small, well defined geographic areas • Experiments span 3-5 years (allowing for repeat testing of methods) • JECAM usually leverages existing research initiatives within countries. • Due to ecosystem differences the experiments will test a variety of techniques incorporating a wide range of optical and radar data sets • In-situ data and satellite data can be shared between experimental sites for collaborative research • JECAM sites are looking at a common range of monitoring needs over a very diverse range of landscape conditions and cropping systems. Including: • Crop identification and acreage estimation • Yield prediction • Near Real Time Crop condition \ Crop stress • Land management • Soil moisture Sentinel 2 Symposium, JECAM Side Event

  34. Cropping systems are inherently diverse which dictates the monitoring observations and methods

  35. JECAM activities are being undertaken at a series of study sites which represent the world’s main cropping systems and agricultural practices. • 15 sites currently exist ( 1 in development). Additional sites will be added to meet science objectives and ensure all major crop systems are addressed. Mali site in development
