GEO Global Agricultural Monitoring
GEOGLAMFlagshipEnhances monitoring of agricultural production to ensure food security using Earth observation data.
Agriculture and Food Security represents the crucial link between sustainable agriculture and global food security, aiming to boost agricultural productivity, stabilise food supplies and reduce malnutrition.
GEO plays a key role by supporting early warning systems that monitor crop conditions and yields, with Earth Intelligence being essential for improving management practices and preventing food insecurity.
By leveraging Earth Intelligence technologies, GEO activities such as GEOGLAM, Global Vegetation Pest and Disease Dynamic Remote Sensing Monitoring and Forecasting, and Earth Observations for the Water-Energy-Food Nexus enable:
Enhances monitoring of agricultural production to ensure food security using Earth observation data.
Monitors vegetation health for early pest and disease detection.
Integrates Earth observations for sustainable resource management.
This work aligns with key international frameworks:
The Post-2025 GEO Work Programme prioritises climate-resilient agriculture, accessible Earth observation data for underserved regions, and cutting-edge technologies like AI and IoT to revolutionise agricultural practices. By integrating Earth Intelligence with socio-economic data, GEO will offer comprehensive solutions to food insecurity globally.
Hydrometeorological data in Africa should be publicly available, open, and free, but there is a lack of resources to realize this.
Addresses environmental challenges unique to the Arctic.
Provides tools and data to support global efforts in achieving land degradation neutrality.
Focuses on ocean and coastal observations to support sustainable use.
Uses Earth observations for enhancing security applications.
GEO-IA contributes to a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable approach to Earth observation initiatives that benefit Indigenous communities, the scientific community, and global efforts to harmoniously coexist with our planet.
An step toward realizing the massive untapped potential for GEO and GEO Youth to mutually benefit from critical, deliberate engagement with one another.
Fostering collaboration and strengthening the networks of women’s participation in marginalized communities within these fields is essential for building a collaborative, accessible Earth data ecosystem
An international community focused on the value and socioeconomic impacts of geospatial information for decision-making
Provides accessible Earth observation data to support sustainable development in Africa.
Advancing and operationalizing Digital Earth, at an initial stage, through the Earth Observation (EO) Data Cubes efforts, with a focus on implementing global principles in local contexts
Provides tailored Earth observation solutions for Pacific Island nations.
Leverages Earth observations to support achievement of the SDGs.
