Abstracts

With the development of geospatial data science and its application in the agricultural field, the meaningful agricultural-related geospatial data and information are inextricably linked with sustainable farming practices, internationalization of agricultural commodities, and global climate change. For better utilizing and reusing the agricultural information and knowledge, robust data centers and systems are expected to play a significant role in the management of numerous agricultural-related geospatial data, which could change the agricultural geoinformation domain by developing geospatial algorithms and workflow, creating added value information products, downstream applications and services in favor of both public and private sector stakeholders. This chapter reviews the state-of-art of the operational agriculture monitoring systems at the international, national, and regional level that provides the continued monitoring of agriculture. The user needs and the issues of current agricultural data systems are discussed. The capabilities of spatial and temporal monitoring systems are analyzed. Emphatically, the data sources and products, system functionalities, interoperability, and standardization are demonstrated.
