Earth observation data are systematically used to monitor and detect disturbances in the growth of plants due to water stress, weather, drought or pests. Especially in Africa, where the majority of farmers are vulnerable to these threats, Earth observation data can provide valuable information to support policies and decision making in the sector of food security. The Horizon 2020-funded AfriCultuReS project "Enhancing Food Security in African Agricultural Systems with the Support of Remote Sensing" (2017-2021) leverages the above data to contribute to an integrated agricultural monitoring and early warning system for Africa, to be used to support food security decision-making in Africa. The aim of this work is to present the current progress in the design and distribution of EO services under the AfriCultuReS program and how they are expected to support food safety decisions in Africa. Designed services cover the requirements of users in the areas of land, crops, livestock, water, meteorology and climate change.
