Abstract :
[en] In the context of the MARS Project of the Commission of the European Community, an agricultural inventory was carried out in Belgium which became the first North-European country to be covered by a complete survey in this program. Besides the statistical figures relative to crop acreage estimation issued from this survey, a regular satellite map of the land uses was published at the scale of 1: 400 000. The Laboratory of Remote Sensing and Forest Management of the University of Gent was entrusted with the task of doing agricultural estimation while the SURFACES Laboratory of the University of Liège was put in charge of the geometrical and mapping procedures.
