Agriculture GeoPortal - powered by Esri

Agriculture in Africa Integrate Earth observations, imagery, field data, agribusiness and real-time data streams to develop sustainable agricultural practices and improve understanding of the food balance sheet. Make better decisions faster. Monitor and forecast production to sustainably feed Africa's growing population. Explore, access and contribute to resources and initiatives to improve agricultural practices and production in Africa through data and GIS technology Agriculture in 2050 Understanding the changes in the agricultural landscape due to climate change is essential and spatial data can play a key role in modelling and mapping the variables and analysing the impact. This dashboard is an example of a suitability study done for Ethiopia using data from Africa Geoportal to get an understanding of the impact of climate change on wheat farming in 2050. The study was documented in this storymap. Explore more through the agricultural segments below.

Climate Change Climate change and Environmental stressors call for increased monitoring and understanding of (changing) Local conditions: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/indicators.jpg Plan for the future...now Understanding how our world has changed can provide insight into building a more sustainable and prosperous future. By analyzing historic global land cover data and observing change over time, we can make fundamental predictions and forecast growth patterns for the future. Sustainable Agriculture Development Regenerative agricultural practices can protect the environment, improve soil fertility, and optimize long-term profitably to create greater food security. Collect & map baseline data and monitor change to understand how no-till, cover crops, rotational grazing, and other sustainable practices contribute to better soil health, biodiversity, and CO2 sequestration, and support SDG’s. Additional Resources Using UAVs to Aid Policy & Decision-Making To highlight the utility of UAV imagery for evaluating the health and preparedness of coastal ecosystems and infrastructure, a series of pilot studies were conducted for priority areas identified by the USAID-Ghana Sustainable Fisheries Management Project (SFMP). Learn More Tracking Tree Planting in sub-Saharan Africa Farmers in the western region of Burkina Faso have embarked on a large-scale effort of tree planting, or afforestation, to infuse new life into their land. The World Bank, in conjunction with the Burkina Faso government, provides technology tools for educated but jobless young people to support data collection in all phases of this project.
