Expected Contribution

Knowledge of the geographic distribution of crops is becoming increasingly useful not only to help local decision makers but also for agricultural and environmental assessment and regional and global change research. Maps of crop distribution data are critical for commodity studies, agro-ecological model and numerous environmental applications. Crop distribution mapping can support analyses of environment and land use change, and help understand the relationship between crops and environmental constraints in which they are growing. This project will seek to produce reliable information on the geographic distribution of crops in Brazil, their drivers, and their impacts on land cover changes during the last decades.
