Take-Away Messages from Morning Session• Geospatial data are key to many decisions affecting global food and

environmental security• Data consistency is critical for supporting analysis; we currently

spend too much time ‘at the end of the pipeline’• Temporal variation (seasonality and time series) is important• Improved data sometimes matter; sometimes not! This is important

information• It is all about workflows – culminating in products of interest to user

communities• Regional knowledge improves global data products• Open access and transparency are essential
