Agriculture SBA Tasks

• Three tasks for the GEO Agriculture SBA• AG 01: initiating the creation of a 5- to 10-year

strategic plan and creating a plan of action for GEO in agriculture;

• AG 02: developing and improving analytical tools and methods for agricultural risk assessment, particularly for crop failure, and establishing common standards and formats;

• AG 03: supporting operational agricultural monitoring systems, enhancing the current capabilities in the areas of agricultural monitoring, famine early warning and food security.

AIP-5 Agriculture SBA Implementation

• Pilot the implementation of a prototype distributed system for operational global agricultural monitoring– Support Agriculture SBA, especially task AG 03

• Theme: crop condition monitoring and analysis• Scenario:

– A government agricultural decision maker or an agriculture commodity trader wants to know the current crop condition of major crops in the world’s major production areas in comparison with the last year, a specific year in the past, or multi-year average.

Summary• OGC Interoperability technology brings the agricultural information

providers and users together• Under the GEOSS Architectural framework, it is possible to construct

operational global agriculture monitoring and analysis system.• Any user with an Internet can access and utilize the agricultural

information equally.
