El uso de herramientas satelitales para estimar produccion agricola a nivel nacional 🛰️glam.umd.edu @bertellof @ecopati @Bolsadecereales
In this article by @bertellof, see how @Bolsadecereales experts like @ecopati are using our updated GLAM system to flag potential drought effects on #agricultural production in Argentina. @G20_GEOGLAM

In #CentralAmerica & the #Caribbean, harvesting of #Primera season cereals is nearing completion under favorable conditions. In #Haiti, main season cereals are unlikely to recover from rainfall deficits and high temps during the #Printemps season. #CM4EW cropmonitor.org

#30DayMapChallenge: Flood susceptibility of #Belize, based on the work done by @NRInstitute's Dr. Bruce King and colleagues in the mid-1980s to early 1990s. Like the agricultural suitability, this was also based on King et al.'s soil mapping work.

#30DayMapChallenge: From 1986 through 1992, specialists from @NRInstitute - led by the late Dr. Bruce King - mapped the agricultural potential of #Belize's soils. Unsurprisingly, their research indicated that most of Belize's soils are *not* suited to #agriculture. 🗺️

In #CentralAmerica and the #Caribbean, conditions are favourable for #Primera season cereals while crops in #Haiti are unlikely to recover from rainfall deficits. Above-normal rainfall is expected for many areas through October. #CM4EW cropmonitor.org with @climatehazards

#NASAHarvest Markets and Trade co-lead @EIPuricelli recently spoke at the #ifama2022 meeting to discuss how we're overcoming productivity gaps in agri-food systems. Estefania's work is really vital in helping us respond more effectively in an increasingly complex world!

A consistent theme of today's session: 10 yrs into #GEOGLAM: field data remains a bottleneck, especially during #COVID19. Through @AgAmericas, @EIPuricelli, @HarvestProgram, & @Bolsadecereales, we train the next gen of rural scholars to use mobiles to collect data #CitizenScience
If you're attending #LPS22, check out @EIPuricelli's talk today! Tune in to learn how the Agricultural Monitoring in the Americas initiative came to be, the progress we've made since our inception, and how we're looking ahead to the challenges in the region.
Today is day 3 of @ESA_EO's #LPS22! Harvest has a full schedule with 9 talks across 3 sessions. Harvest's Chief Scientist Chris Justice is co-convening 2 sessions celebrating @G20_GEOGLAM's 10th birthday & looking at it's progress over the past decade.

In #CentralAmerica, land preparation & early planting of #Primera season cereals is underway. Planting conditions are favorable, but fertilizer price increases across the region may negatively impact yields particularly in #Guatemala #CM4EW May bulletin at cropmonitor.org

In #CentralAmerica, harvesting of #Apante season bean crops finalized in #Nicaragua under favorable conditions. Land preparation is underway for #Primera season cereals, and early sowing has begun in parts of #Guatemala due to early rainfall onset. #CM4EW cropmonitor.org

Did you know that space lasers can help us map crops? 🛰️⚡️ Here's a quick summary of our work using @GEDI_Knights and Sentinel-2 to map tall and short crops, presented at #AGU21 today! 1/n
Improved ag productivity in South America is impacting global markets - particularly in terms of supply as harvests often occur in different seasons.
@JoeGlauber1 & Mario Miranda look at how multi-hemispheric production is shaping markets & present a new model for examining it.
