IIASA-IFPRI Cropland Map
The 1 km global IIASA-IFPRI cropland percentage map for the baseline year 2005 has been developed by integrating a number of individual cropland maps at global to regional to national scales. The individual map products include existing global land cover maps such as GlobCover 2005 and MODIS v.5, regional maps such as AFRICOVER and national maps from mapping agencies and other organizations.

Global Field Size Map
The global field size map has been produced at the same resolution as the global cropland map (1km) based on interpolation of field size data collected via a crowdsourced campaign using Geo-Wiki. A validation exercise revealed satisfactory agreement with control data, particularly given the relatively modest size of the field size dataset used to create the map. Both products will continue to be improved in the future.

Geo-Wiki validations
The Geo-Wiki Project gathers validation data for three global land cover datasets. On this page, you can download these validation results and use it for your own applications. Currently, we just support the download of KMZ-file format. More formats (like .shp) will be supported in the near future.

USAID Hackathon results
Geo-Wiki users were asked to identify the presence of cultivated land and settlements in samples taken from Ethiopia, along with their confidence in doing so. These will be areas where land acquisitions may affect the local population so publishing a better map of land availability might help to stop these acquisitions in the future, preserve the livelihoods of the local population and improve local food security. The hackathon took place on September 14-16.
You can find more information on USAID's event page.

Land Cover Classification Competition II results
Owing to the importance of global land cover in disciplines such as climate change, food security and land-use modelling, the creation of a global land cover calibration and validation dataset is essential. To help us achieve this goal, we have established a global sample of validation points which we wanted to classify in this competition. Contributors were presented with pixels overlaid on Google Earth and we would like then to tell us what land cover types they can see up to a maximum of three classes. As most pixels contain multiple land cover types, this will provide us with valuable information for future validation of land cover maps and to get a better understanding on how much people have modified the landscape.
This competition took place between January and March 2012.
