Agricultural Information Needs and Research Priorities for Remote Sensing in South and Southeast Asian Countries
1 Introduction
2 Food Production and Security in South/Southeast Asia (S/SEA): Remote Sensing Needs and Priorities
2.1 Need for Operational Mapping of Land Use/Cover Changes (LCLUC) Focusing on Agriculture
2.2 Need for Long-Term Agricultural Research Site Data to Aid in Developing Operational Mapping and Monitoring of Cropping Systems
2.3 Crop Mapping and Monitoring in S/SEA Need to Move Beyond Rice and Focus on Additional Crops
