Synopsis (short abstract) FAO and Telefónica have signed a partnership to promote sustainable agricultural practices by developing and implementing innovative technologies, digitization and data analysis initiatives in the agricultural sector. The partnership places special emphasis on supporting rural agricultural communities in accessing information that will help them use water resources more efficiently and as well as prepare and strengthen them in the face of extreme weather events related to climate change. The agreement foresees three main areas of work among which the application of the Internet of things (IoT) and Big Data will be applied to the agricultural sector to optimize processes and make the use of natural resources more efficient.

e-Agriculture Promising Practice: Agro Weather Tool for Climate Smart Agriculture 2018

Also available in:

No results found.

In order to support Kenyan farmers, the Kenyan Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) developed the Agro-Weather Tool. The farmers still rely heavily on traditional methods to understand weather predictions and those do not allow them to mitigate the risks brought about by climate change. The Agro-Weather Tool is a web and mobile based information system that incorporates climate information and good agricultural practices for farmers. The tool has been developed to help farmers better manage weather risks, maximize productivity and minimize the environmental impact of farming practices. In further support of the farmers in the arid and semi-arid regions ofmKenya, KALRO also developed KALRO Knowledge Hub and mobile applications.

SMART Global Ecosystems is an alliance between the University of Valladolid and the technological company SNGULAR to promote research and training in the area of artificial intelligence and sustainable environmental data science through information and communication technologies (ICTs) and big data analysis. ICTs, together with massive data analysis, open a world of opportunities to implement training, research, and social awareness actions to develop data science and artificial intelligence methods and products that facilitate sustainable ecosystem management. Through the development of ecosystem monitoring, analysis, and management methods based on data science and artificial intelligence, the aim is to ensure Sustainability, Mitigation, Adaptation, Resilience to Global Change, and Trade-offs of Ecosystem Services (SMART) globally. Promoters, professors and researchers at the University of Valladolid (campus at Palencia) and the data and artificial intelligence team from SNGULAR, have been collaborating for twenty years in the development of programs and algorithms for ecosystem management. Through different collaborative projects developed with students from master DATAFOREST (University of Valladolid) and from Vietnam National University-University of Science (VNU University of Science), we have generated a set of lessons learned on the detection of singular trees by using ground and remote sensing data and artificial intelligence.
