AGVARIABLES

Essential Agricultural Variables for GEOGLAM are Earth observation-based "building blocks" that in combination with one another or with other non-EO information provide insight into the "GEOGLAM Agricultural Indicators" - which themselves provide actionable information on the state, change, and forecast of agricultural land use and productivity (Figure 1). GEOGLAM covers land devoted to agriculture, which is defined as the systematic and controlled use of land and livestock to produce food, fiber, and fuel. This includes croplands, rangelands, and short-term fallow lands.
