Monitoring the start of the crop season in Sahel provides decision makers with valuable information for an early assessment of potential production and food security threats. Presently, the most common...

JRC and CCAFS jointly organized a workshop on June 13-14, 2012 in Ispra, Italy with the aim to advance the state-of-knowledge of data assimilation for crop yield forecasting in general, to address...

Agricultural monitoring is a major concern to economies largely based on agriculture like Uruguay. In order to improve crop yield forecasts, identification of crop types must be performed...

The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission operationally monitors semi-arid countries using Earth Observation (EO) systems. This contribution describes the application of a new method for assessing...

The length of the crop season is a major determinant of yields in Sahel. Higher variability being observed on when the season starts rather than when it finishes, accurate estimates...

This paper provides a resource-based assessment of the available agricultural crop residues for bioenergy production in the European Union, at the level of the 27 Member States. The assessment provides the amount of the residues...

Food security monitoring requires effective crop status assessment and yield forecasting methodologies and tools. Such tools need to build on a thorough knowledge of the crop production...
