The datasets are prepared in the context of GEF–8 projects, which aims to improve the region’s food security by transforming rice fields. -

No results found.The Gambia, home to 2.5 million people, is grappling with challenges such as food insecurity, migration, and a significant poverty rate of 62 percent. Despite the heavy reliance on agriculture for employment, its modest contribution to the GDP does not significantly alleviate poverty. To address these issues, the Gambia's government, with IFAD's support, launched the ROOTS project, aiming to enhance agricultural productivity through strategic investments and collaborative efforts.This publication delves into the synergy between agricultural advancement and the ROOTS initiative, focusing on its pioneering use of spatial monitoring. It showcases the development of a geospatial platform that plays a pivotal role in gathering and analyzing critical data like land use, soil quality, and weather patterns. This tool offers vital real-time, location-specific information that is essential for informed decision-making, efficient use of resources, and strengthening the resilience of smallholder farmers. The platform encompasses six key elements: rice production, vegetable gardening, mangroves, forestry, agroforestry, and infrastructure development.Furthermore, the publication underscores the involvement of the FAO, which has been instrumental in enhancing technical capabilities in geospatial technology. The FAO's contributions include generating key indicators for the project components, beginning with an updated land cover map for The Gambia. This map is part of a newly developed National Land Cover Reference System (NLCRS), which provides a standardized method for classifying land cover in accordance with international norms. The NLCRS offers local stakeholders valuable, sustainable tools for effective land monitoring, planning, and management.
