Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetStrengthening agro-climatic monitoring, analysis, communication and use of data and information for decision-making and food security in the agricultural sector in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic
SAMIS PROJECT / Component 1
2019Also available in:
The leaflet present the activities of the first component of the project “Strengthening Agro-climatic Monitoring and Information Systems (SAMIS) to improve adaptation to climate change and food security in Lao PDR”. The component, implemented in strict collaboration with the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH), Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, is titled “Strengthening agro-climatic monitoring, analysis, communication and use of data and information for decision making in agriculture and food security”. The activities includes the installment of agro-meteorological stations, the setup of a Laboratory for agro-meteorological analysis and instrument calibration, the implementation of the Laos Climate Services in Agriculture (LaCSA) system for modelling and distribution of climate services to farmers, and the facilitation of a process to ensure national Standard Operation Procedure are followed. -
Book (stand-alone)Guidance on spatial technologies for disaster risk management in aquaculture
Full document
2018Also available in:
No results found.This new guide describes the application of spatial technology to improve disaster risk management (DRM) within the aquaculture sector. DRM requires interrelated actions and activities to ensure early warning, prevention, preparedness, response and recovery for a wide range of natural, technological and complex disasters that can impact aquaculture operations and livelihoods. Spatial technology refers to systems and tools that acquire, manage and analyse data that have geographic context. Some of the technologies include satellite remote sensing, aerial surveys, global positioning systems, geographic information systems, information and communication technology and other data gathering sensors used, for instance, in meteorology. Spatial technology supports activities across all phases of the DRM cycle and its rapid development provides enhanced opportunities to support DRM within the aquaculture sector. This guide is organized in two parts. Part one is the “guidance”; it is the main body of the document and describes the processes and steps for the use of spatial technology within DRM for aquaculture. Part two includes selected country case studies from Bangladesh, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, and Indonesia to illustrate the application of spatial technology in DRM for aquaculture at the national level within local contexts. Best practices at the farm and area management levels, supported by spatial technology, reduce volatility and risks and thus facilitate investment. Countries that would like aquaculture to grow sustainably and reliably are encouraged to use this guide in order to support spatial planning approaches and protect responsible investors. A separate summary version accompanies this publication.
