The document summarizes China's Agricultural Remote Sensing Monitoring System (CHARMS), which has been operational since 1998 to monitor key crops and grasslands across China using remote sensing data. The system provides monitoring of crop acreages, soil moisture, crop growth, yields, and disasters. It incorporates remote sensing data, ground observations, and statistical analysis to produce monitoring results. The system is modular and distributed to allow flexibility. It is intended to contribute to agricultural management and food security in China.
