Abstract

At a time when the Internet provides immediate answers to any query by individuals, and when some parts of the world live in, sustain and enjoy an unprecedented data revolution, the knowledge of agricultural productions, stocks and forecasts at world, national, local or farm levels remains a challenge. Although there is no doubt that agricultural resources and ever-evolving technologies are currently capable of feeding the world’s population, governments, the business sector and citizens remain vulnerable to potential problems linked to local food and feed shortages, abnormal rain or heat effects, abnormal prices, and to the consequences of export bans or climate change. Obtaining data on these factors remains difficult, especially when data must be collected at farm level
