WORLDCEREAL AIMS TO OPEN AND SHARE AGRICULTURAL REFERENCE DATA AND SUPPORT OPEN SCIENCE

WorldCereal Reference Data Module

WorldCereal is a global R&D challenge aiming to engage the global agricultural community to achieve optimal results. One of the major bottlenecks in creating high quality global crop maps, is the limited availability of harmonized in-situ reference data.

Throughout the project, the consortium has collected and harmonized over 100 in-situ datasets for different regions in the world and made them publicly available in our Reference Data Module.

Are you able to share a dataset or part of a dataset? Become one of the WorldCereal data providers today and contribute to advance the state-of-the-art on global crop mapping and be at the forefront of this global innovative initiative.
