    The case study illuminates the diverse advantages stemming from the strategic utilization of GIS and remote sensing in water harvesting. These technologies empowered precise decision-making, resulting in expanded agricultural productivity across 26 hectares and effective disaster mitigation strategies. Additionally, they fostered sustainable practices such as agroforestry, culminating in an elevated commitment of Ngunga community to environmental stewardship. Ultimately, this fusion of technologies significantly strengthened community resilience, bringing in comprehensive socio-economic development

    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Pakistan initiated the Technical Cooperation Programme on Remote Sensing for Spatio-Temporal mapping of Smog (R-SMOG)   upon the request of the Government of Punjab. The R-SMOG evaluates the relationship between Smog and the rice residue burning practices by farmers in the Rice belt of Punjab. It is a comprehensive geospatial research which integrates Spatio-temporal mapping of smog viz-a-viz climatological modelling, study of seasonal trends and dynamics and estimates an inventory of sectoral emissions. The findings of the R-SMOG will assist to generate scientific evidences to study the causes of Smog in Punjab and to adopt adequate mitigation and adaptation strategies.

    Adoption of new strategies for agriculture monitoring, rural land use planning and land management is urgently required to reduce hunger and poverty among rural population of Afghanistan and to assure sustainable food and feed production for future generations. The availability of reliable information on natural resources and agriculture for its monitoring and analysis is indispensable to development and implementation of such strategies. The activities proposed in this document have as overall objective in strengthening/improvement of the national capacity on rice monitoring and analysis by use of geospatial and innovative technology based on Proba-V, Aqua/Terra, Landsat-8, Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, SPOT-5/6/7 and Pleiades imagery for sustainable development for food security in the country.
