ProjectAssessment of agricultural drought severity in Afghanistan for 2023 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Assessing agricultural drought severity is critical for food security. Remote sensing data, particularly the Vegetation Condition Index (VCI) from MODIS product1, helps evaluate drought extent. Monthly VCI maps from January to April are merged to create a comprehensive growing season map, categorized into five drought severity classes. This map is then visualized using a hexagon grid with cells of approximately 350 square kilometers. The 2023 drought severity assessment reveals that numerous provinces in Afghanistan experienced higher levels of drought, especially in the extreme and severe classes. These findings are important for the Afghanistan Emergency Food Security Project (OSRO/AFG/213/WBK), providing essential information to address food security challenges and implement appropriate interventions. -
ProjectAssessing exposure of irrigated agriculture to drought in Afghanistan (2022) 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Assessing the exposure of irrigated agriculture to drought is crucial for understanding its impact on food security. Remote sensing data, particularly the Vegetation Condition Index (VCI) from MODIS product1, helps evaluate drought extent (values below 40 percent). The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) land cover dataset (2018)2 was used to extract irrigated agriculture, which was overlaid on the drought data to assess the level of exposure in each province. The results were visualized using a hexagonal map (90 km2 per hexagon) with a color-coded legend, indicating various levels of exposure (low to high). These findings are important for the Afghanistan Emergency Food Security Project (OSRO/AFG/213/WBK), providing essential information to address food security challenges and implement appropriate interventions. -
