Abstract

Food availability is one of the dimensions of food security, and it is necessary to analyze the crop production scenario to estimate the availability of food in a region. Cropping sequence and cropping intensity indicate the seasonal crop production, thereby indicating the seasonal availability of food. Seasonal variation of per capita or per household availability of the cropped land determines the food security status of a given region. In Indian Sundarbans region, people’s livelihood is seriously threatened by the food insecurity. The present study aimed to determine the seasonality of cropped land as well as the cropping intensities of Gosaba CD block of Indian Sundarbans during 2017–2018, 2018–2019 and 2019–2020 cropping years using Multi-dated Sentinel-2 data. Rule-based classification was applied for cropping sequence and cropping intensity mapping. Winter season cropped land was the lowest (
