Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureMonitoring of rice crop using satellite Remote Sensing and GIS technologies in Afghanistan 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Afghanistan has an area of 379,100 Sq. km classified as agriculture land. But the country is generally deficit in food production. So the availability of reliable information on natural resources and the agricultural monitoring are urgently necessary for the adoption of new strategies about rural land use planning and land management. This is the way for reducing hunger and poverty among population and to assure sustainable food and feed production for future generations. Rice is one of the thre e main food security crop of Afghanistan. This project starts from here: from the rice crop area estimation and rice crop mask development. -
Book (stand-alone)Working paperGroundwater search by remote sensing: A methodological approach 2003
Also available in:
No results found.In the framework of the technical assistance provided to the Groundwater Unit (GWU) of the FAO-implemented IRAQ/SCR/986 "Three-year Agricultural Programme" for the three Iraqi Northern Governorates, a comprehensive remote sensing/GIS methodology was developed to identify potential sites for groundwater exploitation. The approach used in the study was a development of the traditional standard sequence of drainage, landforms, cover and lineaments analyses, to which several improvements and addit ions were made, such as: (1) all data were in digital format and stored in a geo-database as GIS layers; (2) all analyses and interpretations were performed directly from the computer screen; (3) on the basis of a previous positive experience, thermal lineaments analysis was performed; (4) a comprehensive geo-database was created including all GIS layers which were considered of interest for the study; (5) by using the potentiality of GIS software, which allows stacking of georeferenced data f or comparison and integration and data query for subsetting the needed information, selected layers of the database were superimposed on the Landsat image kept as background and a logical series of observations was made, leading to a well-substantiated set of interpretation assumptions. The creation of a GIS database, including the data format and entry, is a time-consuming and laborious exercise, as high accuracy is definitely mandatory. However, once the database is complete, interpretation of features leading to selection of promising sites for groundwater search is carried out easily and quickly. This as a result of data availability of all needed information in a GIS environment. Thirty test areas, selected by the field team, were investigated and 198 promising sites were identified for further ground survey and subsequent drilling. -

Book (stand-alone)General interest book新的机会 用于区块链的应用 在农业食品行业
经过修改的版本
2020分布式账本技术和智能合约为提高农业部门中价值和信息交换效率、透明度及可追溯性提供了独一无二的机会。分布式账本技术利用数字记录、密码学以及交易处理和数据存储去中介化，可通过多种方式改进农业供应链和农村发展干预措施。该技术能够简化和整合农业供应链、提升食品安全、增加获取贸易融资和其他类型农业金融服务的机会、提高市场透明度、增进土地权属制度的法律确定性，并加强遵守国际农业协定的问责。本文旨在推动深化对农业食品中分布式账本技术机遇、效益和应用的认识，探讨了分布式账本技术通过让弱势市场主体参与一体化供应链，对于解决其诸多挑战的潜力。还明确了采用分布式账本技术的技术局限性、可能的机构障碍以及公共部门的下一步工作。总而言之，本文揭示了分布式账本技术如何能够促进实现可持续发展目标。
