On October 14, 1980, the report was released for the first time as the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates and it was the first report to provide categorized estimates for the world, US, total foreign, major importers and major exporters. [8] Estimates for individual countries were first included in the report released on January 11 ...

At first, record keeping was not of the highest caliber, but by the turn of the 20th century it was clear that crop rotation was a useful component ...
Change in weather patterns and temperature due to climate change leads to dispersal of plant pathogens as hosts migrate to areas with more favourable conditions. This increases crop losses due to diseases. [123] [109] For instance, aphids act as vectors for many potato viruses and will be able to spread further due to increased temperatures. [127]
Satellite crop monitoring technology allows to perform online crop monitoring on different fields, located in different areas, regions, even countries and on different continents. The technology's advantage is a high automation level of sown area condition and its interpretation in an interactive map which can be read by different groups of users.
