Service Description:

Agriculture

Generations of farmers have been good stewards of land and wildlife while also providing food for people and livestock. However, some agricultural practices, like overuse of pesticides, can reduce the availability of food, clean water, and safe places for birds to feed, rest, and breed. And, the conversion of natural vegetation, such as native prairies or tropical forest, to agriculture has reduced the areas once used by birds. By working with farmers, we can identify ways that bird-friendly farming can provide solutions for people and birds.

Processing

We mapped the current extent of agriculture by identifying all 3-km cells containing cropland in 2010, including both irrigated and rainfed fields (but excluding very minor fragments). Urban and suburban areas were removed.
