G20 Final Declaration (nov. 2011)

44. We commit to improve market information and transparency in order to make international markets for agricultural commodities more effective. To that end, we launched:

• The "Agricultural Market Information System" (AMIS) in Rome on September 15, 2011, to improve information on markets ...;

• The "Global Agricultural Geo-monitoring Initiative" (GEOGLAM) in Geneva on September 22-23, 2011, to coordinate satellite monitoring observation systems … to enhance crop production projections ...

2. The GEO-GLAM Initiative : actions and outputs 2. The GEO-GLAM Initiative : actions and outputs

Action 1. Strengthening national capacities for agric. monitoring Deliverable 1 : Access to Earth Observation data for agriculture capacity development for the use of EO, experience sharing, monitoring research Deliverable 2 : Access to Meteorological data and forecasts Action 2. Global and regional agricultural monitoring Systems Harmonizing, connecting, strengthening inter-comparing existing systems, disseminating information. Deliverable 3 : Improved cultivated areas and crop-type distribution Action 3. At risk regions and countries agricultural monitoring estimates, crop yield forecasts Improving monitoring methods, tools and systems for vulnerable Deliverable 4 : Improved monitoring methods agricultural systems Deliverable 5 : Strengthened national agricultural monitoring capacities Action 4. Global Earth observation system of systems for agricult. Developing an operational system : coordinated satellite and in-situ Deliverable 6 : Dissemination of data to stakeholders; Earth Observation and weather forecasting; Deliverable 7 : A sustained Earth observation system of systems for agricultural monitoring,
