With the new mandatory European regulations regarding natural resources and territorial management, the environmental and agricultural institutions of the French West Indies and French Guiana need reliable and up to date geo-information. Such information must enable them to locate, characterize and track how farming systems are evolving and interacting with urban and natural environments, and to assess their regulatory compliance. In 2006, PARAGE project was funded by the French ministry of agriculture and fisheries to address these needs. It was an 18 months pilot study, gathering both Private (Spot Image, SIGbea) and Public (CIRAD, IRD) partners. Moreover this project comes within the scope of the SPOT satellite image receiving station set up in French Guiana in February 2006 which makes it possible to build up a large bank of satellite imagery covering the Amazon and Caribbean environments. In this context, the main objective of PARAGE project was to help public institutions and organizations to observe and analyze the impact of farming practices on the natural and urban environment using satellite data in combination with existing data and expertise. Following a detailed needs analysis conducted in the French West Indies and French Guiana, the project concentrated on several problematics:-In French Guiana: Monitoring of land clearance in slash-and-burn farming (Charvein-Saint-Laurent-Apatou) and intensive Hmong farming (Cacao).-In Martinique: Risk erosion assessment on the bay of Le Robert watershed.-In Guadeloupe: Dynamics of fruit and vegetable croplands (Côte sous le vent) and monitoring of forest/farmland boundary in a wetland area (Vieux-Bourg-Abymes). To answer the hereabove needs, 2 geo-indicators have been specified: 1) Landscape evolution (French Guiana and Guadeloupe) and 2) Sensitivity to erosion (Martinique). SPOT, QuickBird and Formosat-2 satellite imagery have permitted to generate the map products required as input geoinformation to implementthese indicators. Moreover an online GIS module, based on open source solutions, has been specifically built to implement these geo-indicators, give access to the different map products that have been developed and share the information between the different actors of the agro-environmental scope. The next steps of the PARAGE initiative would now be to define and set up an operational service dedicated to the Caribbean and Amazon regions.
