[FAO x Data Strategy] How to Use Earth Observation Data for Agricultural Statistics & SDG Monitoring
16:00 - 17:00 (Rome time)
Virtual Event, 07/03/2023
FAO, in collaboration with the Data Strategy, will be hosting a webinar on Tuesday, 7 March 2023 on the use of Earth Observation data for the production of official agricultural statistics and SDG indicators.
Collecting data and predicting real time crop area and yield is difficult and expensive. FAO, through the EOSTAT project, is helping countries in overcoming this challenge and building their technical capacity to consistently collect agricultural statistics through integrated earth observation data, physical modelling, and ground truth data collection.
Come and join our experts to discover how EOSTAT is implemented, and to know more about its innovative aspects with respect to traditional approaches for the production of crop statistics based solely on field surveys and with respect to conventional EO approaches based on statistical relationships with vegetation indexes.
