Fields of the World: Mapping Every Field on Earth
<p>Fields of the World: Mapping Every Field on Earth | Great Data Products with Jen Marcus & Isaac Corley</p><p>Jed Sundwall talks with Jen Marcus (VP of Strategic Innovation Programs) and Isaac Corley (Director of AI Research) of Taylor Geospatial about Fields of the World: an open, global map of agricultural field boundaries derived from satellite imagery with AI, released entirely in the open on Source Cooperative under a CC BY license.</p><p>Jen traces the origin story back to a 2024 gathering in St. Louis that set the project's order of operations: agree on a minimal, extensible schema first (Fiboa), then build a benchmark dataset, evaluate models, recommend an architecture, and ship the tooling. Isaac walks through what's actually in the global release — not just vector boundaries, but the input Sentinel-2 mosaics and raw pixel-level predictions behind them. The conversation closes on the hard part: the economics of sustaining open data products, the case for graduating the dataset into a "data trust," and a new push to fix how geospatial AI models get benchmarked.</p><p><br />Episode details with transcript at <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://greatdataproducts.com/episodes/2026/05/marcus-corley-fields-of-the-world/" target="_blank">https://greatdataproducts.com/episodes/2026/05/marcus-corley-fields-of-the-world/</a><br /><br /></p><p>LINKS & RESOURCES</p><p>Taylor Geospatial: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://taylorgeospatial.org" target="_blank">https://taylorgeospatial.org</a></p><p>Fields of the World: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://fieldsofthe.world" target="_blank">https://fieldsofthe.world</a></p><p>Fields of the World data (Source Cooperative): <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://source.coop/ftw/global-data" target="_blank">https://source.coop/ftw/global-data</a></p><p>Fiboa (field boundary schema): <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://github.com/fiboa" target="_blank">https://github.com/fiboa</a></p><p>TorchGeo: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://github.com/torchgeo/torchgeo" target="_blank">https://github.com/torchgeo/torchgeo</a></p><p>Cloud-Native Geospatial Forum: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://cloudnativegeo.org" target="_blank">https://cloudnativegeo.org</a></p><p>CNG Forum 2026 (Snowbird, October): <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://2026.cloudnativegeo.org" target="_blank">https://2026.cloudnativegeo.org</a></p><p>CNG London (June 23 — sold out): <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://cloudnativegeo.org/events/cng-london/" target="_blank">https://cloudnativegeo.org/events/cng-london/</a></p><p>"No One Knows the State of the Art in Geospatial Foundation Models": <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.12678" target="_blank">https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.12678</a></p><p>"Data Science at the Singularity" by David Donoho: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.00865" target="_blank">https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.00865</a></p><p>GUESTS</p><p>Jen Marcus: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-marcus-b559091/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-marcus-b559091/</a></p><p>Isaac Corley: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/isaaccorley/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/isaaccorley/</a></p><p>ABOUT</p><p>Great Data Products is a live-stream webinar and podcast from Radiant Earth, a nonprofit focused on making data easier to access and use.
