ESA WorldCereal Global Crop Map (10m)

ESA WorldCereal Global Crop Map (10m)

MH Subset Needed

First open-access global cropland and crop type map at 10m resolution from Sentinel-1/2 imagery. Maharashtra subset identifies cropland extent, wheat, maize, and other major crop boundaries at field level for precision agriculture.

Build a crop acreage estimator for Maharashtra using ESA WorldCereal's 10m resolution global crop maps.
Maharashtra subset not yet extracted. This is a global dataset that contains data covering Maharashtra. A regional subset can be extracted by filtering on geographic coordinates or administrative boundaries.
