- Abstract
- Mapping the annual cropland extent in Sahelian and Sudanian regions is of critical importance for food security. Accurate and up to date location of the major crops is required for agriculture monitoring as it serves as mask in early warning systems such as FEWS-NET, EU-MARS, GIEWS. In those regions, the inter-annual variability of meteorological conditions, the diversity of cropping systems, and the agricultural landscape combining fallows and cultivated lands make cropland classification challenging. Some national land cover maps completed by local or international programs already provide information but are usually not updated on regular basis. Taking advantage of the hectometric resolution of the PROBA-V central camera, this research focuses on developing a new method for Mapping the Annual Sahelian and Sudanian Cropland (MASSC) for the year 2014.
