This project is funded by the NASA Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science (RRNES) initiative under the 2020 Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) solicitation to provide access to data that highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on agricultural production and supply chains. This work is additionally being performed under the NASA Harvest program for food security and agriculture. The project is led by the researchers from the University of Maryland’s Department of Geographical Sciences and will draw upon the invaluable work being done by many partner organizations.
