Cropland

Satellite-derived Land Use / Land Cover computation of cropland in 2020. Geospatially derived cropland cover refers to information about areas of land that are used for growing crops, such as fields of wheat, corn, or other crops. This information is obtained using geographic information systems (GIS) technology, which allows for the creation of detailed maps and spatial datasets that can provide information about the location, extent, and characteristics of cropland. These datasets are often used by researchers, governments, and organizations to monitor and manage agricultural production and land use, and to understand the impacts of changes in cropland on the environment and local communities.
