DIASCA Dialogue #2 - Scaling Transparency: Annual, global commodity tree crop maps

Dear Friends of DIASCA,

We are pleased to announce a major milestone in spatial transparency: the release of annual, global commodity tree crop maps for coffee, cocoa, oil palm, and rubber, built with the AlphaEarth Foundations Satellite Embedding dataset, part of Google Earth AI.

This dataset represents the first pan-tropical, open-source, 10-metre resolution maps for cocoa, coffee, and rubber, key commodity tree crops closely linked to deforestation. These maps are a core output of the Forest Data Partnership (FDaP), a global consortium dedicated to halting forest loss through collaborative improvements in monitoring and supply chain tracking. By scaling coverage from individual countries to the entire tropical belt, this work closes a critical data gap that has hindered conservation efforts for decades.

The dataset also supports the development of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), for example by enabling tools that promote supply chain inclusion through the identification of smallholder farmers as deforestation-free.

We cordially invite you to join us on Monday, June 1^st 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm CEST to hear directly from the team behind this work.

Presenters:

Bryce Cronkite-Ratcliff, Software Engineer, Google
Nicholas Clinton, Developer Relations, Google
Gustave de Campigneulles, Partnerships Manager, Google
