Administrative Data Usage
This section includes a series of documents prepared by each NATCAS agency, to present projects in which we use administrative data as field information for the classification of satellite images. This initiative of the RS&GIS NATCAS working group will be to share these experiences with other countries, which require reducing the cost of field and program activities in remote sensing projects.
Statistics Canada (StatCan)
The Agri-Environmental Spatial Data (AESD) product from the Census of Agriculture provides a large selection of farm-level variables from the Census of Agriculture and uses alternative data sources to improve the spatial distribution of the production activities. Therefore, the AESD database offers clients the possibility to better analyze the impact of agriculture activities on the environment and produce key indicators, or for any applications where accurate location of activities matters.

National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
These papers provide an overview of the NASS Cropland Data Layer (CDL) program. They describe various input data, processing procedures, classification and validation, accuracy assessment, CDL product specifications, dissemination venues and the crop acreage estimation methodology.
National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI)
This report provides information on the use of Sentinel-2 imagery has a data source to estimate wheat area in the State of Sonora, Mexico with an aim to reduce the cost of fieldwork operations and to provide timely information for any period of time assuming the availability of the images and the field data.
Agricultural and Fisheries Information Service (SIAP)
This report provides information on how SIAP wants to update and identify the area destined for protected agriculture through spatial remote sensing, interpretation and digitization of SPOT 6 and 7 satellite images.
This report provides information on the usefulness of a national geographical coverage of the areas dedicated to agricultural activity in Mexico. It goes through specific objectives, inputs data and the methodology for the creation an agricultural frontier made of sown land plus the land that was once sown and today is at rest.
