Since 2015, Chad’s Lake province has been severely affected by the impact of the northeastern Nigerian crisis. Ongoing military operations and security incidents, particularly in the border areas with Nigeria and the Niger, have caused population displacements and affected vulnerable local communities. Households’ livelihoods have been disrupted, increasing food insecurity and malnutrition in a context of low access to basic services, chronic poverty and climate variability. In 2019, FAO is requesting for USD 21million to assist 272 025 people through agricultural and livestock support. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookData management and visualisation in response to large-scale nuclear emergencies affecting food and agriculture 2019
Also available in:
No results found.In a large-scale nuclear emergency affecting food and agriculture, the release of radionuclides to the environment can severely impact the food chain and human health. Up-to-date information of soil, water and crops are pertinent to informing decisions that prevent potentially contaminated products from reaching consumers. However, traditional management and visualisation of data are constrained in response times and decision-making accuracy as they are often not centralized and performed manually. Developments in information technology (IT) allow for Decision Support System (DSS) tools and algorithms to enhance real-time management of large volumes of data and decision-making in a spatio-temporal context. These IT support functions increase the capacity of stakeholders to focus on the most important matters at hand – ensuring food and consumer safety. This publication presents the challenges and solutions of real-time data management, geo-visualisation and decision making, as well as two case-studies of how innovative IT systems can assist in nuclear emergency response affecting food and agriculture. One of the case studies presented is by the Soil and Water Management and Crop Nutrition Laboratory of the Joint FAO/IAEA Division; the other case study by Japanese Competent Authorities in the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. -
