N2 - Ukraine plays an important role in global food security. Ukraine produces about half of the global sunflower oil production, and Ukraine-produced barley, corn, wheat and rapeseed are exported to Europe, China, India, North Africa and the Middle East countries. However, after the invasion of Russia in February 2022 and blocking the ports in Black Sea, the global food prices increased. Uncertainties over crop production over the Russia-occupied territories in Ukraine also impacted the food prices. In this paper, we developed approaches to detect and map crop planted areas over Ukraine using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). This information is very important to assess the agricultural activities, especially on occupied territories, and potentially reduce global food market volatility.
