I'm Not Just Gaming, Ma! I'm Helping The World's Farmers
A computer game wants you to map the world's cropland so farmers can get more out of each harvest.
CGIAR Climate's insight:
There's no easy way to track all of the world's crops. What's missing, among other things, is an accurate map showing where they are.
But the people behind Geo-Wiki are hoping to fix that, with a game called Cropland Capture. They're turning people like you and me into data gatherers, or citizen scientists, to help identify cropland.
