Synopsis (short abstract) To implement the project Improved Agriculture Monitoring Systems through Satellite Imagery for Iran, three parts of the country were selected as pilot areas: Zanjan and Mazandaran provinces, and south Kerman region. For each area, some basic information was obtained, including crop calendars, statistics on the status of major agricultural products, political boundaries, land use, and land cover maps and climatic Agro-Ecological Zone (AEZ) maps. This poster shows the mapped province of Zanjan. The process for developing it started from Sentinel-2 satellite images (period: 1 Jan- 31 Dec 2017). Preprocessing was performed using SNAp software. The NDVI was then calculated for each image for 12 months of the year. The map includes orchards, irrigated lands, water bodies, rangelands, and bare-area classes.

    Benefitting from the financial support of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), FAO in collaboration with the Forest, Range & Watershed Management Organization, is implementing the ‘Rehabilitation of Forest Landscapes and Degraded Land with Particular Attention to Saline Soils and Areas Prone to Wind Erosion’ project in the country to remove key barriers to community-based and integrated Sustainable Land and Forest Management (SLFM). The Organization is focused on (i) strengthening the capacity of local communities and provincial institutions to plan, adopt and evaluate participatory SLFM initiatives at the village and watershed scales; (ii) providing sustainable alternative livelihood options; and (iii) enhancing capacity at the national level to mainstream these approaches into country-wide plans, policies and processes.
