Introduction
Crop monitoring is in this context part a part of a Food Security Information and Early Warning System. How to set up such is system is out of scope for this tutorial. However, a good general manual is published by FAO. It is called “Handbook for Defining and Setting up a Food Security Information and Early Warning System (FSIEWS) FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS ROME – 2000” The PDF version can be downloaded [here]
Some examples of crop monitoring systems have been documented by Jan Jansonius in an Annex to the "Guidelines for Crop Forecasting". These examples are available [here]
