This grant from the USGS is for CESU partners to conduct critical research supporting the development of the Global Cropland Area Database at nominal 30m (GCAD30) for both 2010 and 1990. This initiative is for the purpose of creating four distinct products essential for global agricultural monitoring. These products include precise mapping of cropland extent areas worldwide, detailed identification of specific crop types with an emphasis on eight major crops representing 70% of global cultivated land, and clear differentiation between irrigated and rainfed agricultural zones. Additionally, the research will categorize cropping intensities, such as single, double, triple, and continuous cropping, to provide a comprehensive understanding of global land use patterns and agricultural practices.
