==Introduction==
 
For the implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the European Commission requires information on European crop production of the current growing season. To acquire this information, the MARS-project (Monitoring Agricultural ResourceS) was started. The project is supervised by two units of the European Commission's Joint Research Center (JRC) in Ispra (Italy): Agri4Cast and Foodsec. The MARS-project is now running in an operational context what is called the MCYFS.
 
 
 
 
 
The MCYFS uses near real time data like observed weather, weather forecasts and remote sensing data. On regular intervals new yield statistics are added. Static input data consist of soil maps, crop parameters and administrative regions. With these input data crop conditions can be simulated and crop specific end-of-season yield forecasts are made. With software tools the data can be accessed, analyzed and presented. While the operational management of the MCYFS has been outsourced, the Mars Unit is in charge of research and development, main output quality control, analyses and publication of the MARS bulletins.
 
 
 
 
 
The MCYFS consists of an ensemble of methodologies and tools that are grouped into 5 modules.
