Synopsis (short abstract) Information on rice land area is required to monitor food security indicators and provide information on access to water, rice cropping intensities and more. Rice land extent for eastern Bhutan was mapped by training a machine learning model and classifying satellite imageries (Planet, Sentinel–1) in GEE. These datasets were prepared in the context of GEF–8 projects. The main aim of the GEF–8 project is to transform rice fields to improve the region's food security.

    Cropland is fundamental to food security. Cropland information is required to monitor food security indicators and provide information on access to water, cropping intensities and more. Cropland for eastern Bhutan was prepared by training a machine learning model and classifying satellite imageries (Planet, Sentinel–1) in GEE. Cropland data were prepared in context of GEF–8 projects. The main aim of the GEF–8 project is to transform rice fields to improve the region's food security.

    Temperature anomaly as an indicator for food security in eastern Bhutan (1981-2022) 2023
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Temperature variation affects the food security of a region, in particular at rainfed croplands. To assess the food security, temperature anomaly between two time periods (1981-2022 and 2018-2022) is measured from ECMWF data for eastern Bhutan (1981-2021) in the context of GEF–8 projects. The main aim of the GEF–8 project is to transform cropland to improve the region's food security.

    Precipitation variation affects the food security of a region. To assess the food security, precipitation anomaly between two time periods (1981–2022 and 2018–2022) is measured from CHIRPS data for eastern Bhutan (1981–2022) in the context of GEF–8 projects. The main aim of the GEF–8 project is to transform cropland to improve the region's food security.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

    The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
