 |
||||||||||||||
| Welcome to the website for Group on Earth Observation's Task US-09-01a. NASA served as the lead for this task, which ran from 2008-2014. This website serves to hold documentation of the work completed.

Agriculture: Supporting sustainable agriculture and combating desertification |
|||||||||||||||
| Issues addressed by GEOSS will include: crop production; livestock,
aquaculture and fishery statistics; food security and drought
projections; nutrient balances; farming systems; land use and land
cover change; and changes in the extent and severity of land
degradation and desertification. GEOSS implementation will address the
continuity of critical data, such as high-resolution observation data
from satellites. A truly global mapping and information
service, integrating spatially explicit socio-economic data with
agricultural, forest, and aquaculture data will be feasible, with
applications in poverty and food monitoring, international planning,
and sustainable development.
For the Agriculture SBA, it was separated into two focus areas - Agriculture and Forests. Follow the links below to their respective pages. |
