This classification was done using LCCS3 legend as a framework for classifying agriculture. LCCS3 is the last version of the Land Cover Classification System (LCCS) developed by FAO and UNEP in 1998 to facilitate the understanding of theclasses of land cover regardless of the scale of mapping, the type of coverage,method of data collection, or geographic location.Sentinel 2 images were downloaded and segmented using ecognition software.The segments were then classified using LCCS legend.During the classification, photo keys of different agricultural classes created on google earth was used as visual verification of class types before classification, given that sentinel 2 images has a resolution of 30m and therefore not clear enough to visually detect differences between classes.In additon , High Resolution Google and Esri satellite basemaps were used for verification.The scale of editing and digitization of polygons was 1:10000
