Description
Since 1998, CropWatch has served as China's leading crop monitoring system. The CropWatch research team, part of the Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, Chinese Academy of Sciences, assesses national and global crop production and related information using remote sensing and ground-based indicators. Each quarter, the group's findings are published in the CropWatch bulletin, which is issued in both English and Chinese.
CropWatch is one of the participants in the GEO/GEOSS Global Agricultural Monitoring (GeoGLAM) initiative set up by the G20 to improve access to global information about the worldwide availability of major cereals and soybean.
