International GEO Workshop on <strong>SAR</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Support</strong> <strong>Agricultural</strong> Moni<strong>to</strong>ring Challenge Solution(s) Action/ Next Steps Owner/ Lead Need <strong>to</strong> Reduce the Gap between Research and Operational Users • Closer interactions between research / operational communities. • Financial support for converting research in<strong>to</strong> operations. • Outreach <strong>to</strong> decision-makers. • Access <strong>to</strong> and development of training courses; online courses / materials; combination of regional / local workshops; ‘training of trainers’. • Capacity building in developing countries (i.e. through JECAM). • Lobby governments <strong>to</strong> develop policies <strong>to</strong> transition research in<strong>to</strong> operations. • GEO should disseminate training opportunities. • Greater access <strong>to</strong> software. • Applications Outreach Program. • Establish a website portal that includes training on <strong>SAR</strong> methods and best practices for agriculture applications, including manuals, glossary of terms, list of experts, user forums and links <strong>to</strong> <strong>SAR</strong> data providers and other resources. • Through the GEO web site, provide links <strong>to</strong> national and international announcements of opportunities and other funding opportunities. • Enhance scientific exchanges through annual/bi-annual agriculture workshops. • Develop an inven<strong>to</strong>ry of international science activities and <strong>SAR</strong> experts. • Target special journal and book publications <strong>to</strong> disseminate state of the art science, specific for agriculture. • Document best practices or approaches <strong>to</strong> designing area sample frameworks, data pre-processing and processing, methods and accuracy assessments related <strong>to</strong> <strong>SAR</strong> and agriculture. • Establish international super sites <strong>to</strong> facilitate research collaborations. 20 • Donor agencies’ governments • GEO • CEOS • Universities • UN • Space Agencies • Research Institutions • JECAM
