Journal, magazine, bulletine-Agriculture Promising Practice: Agro Weather Tool for Climate Smart Agriculture 2018
Also available in:
No results found.In order to support Kenyan farmers, the Kenyan Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) developed the Agro-Weather Tool. The farmers still rely heavily on traditional methods to understand weather predictions and those do not allow them to mitigate the risks brought about by climate change. The Agro-Weather Tool is a web and mobile based information system that incorporates climate information and good agricultural practices for farmers. The tool has been developed to help farmers better manage weather risks, maximize productivity and minimize the environmental impact of farming practices. In further support of the farmers in the arid and semi-arid regions ofmKenya, KALRO also developed KALRO Knowledge Hub and mobile applications. -
ProjectTowards a Resilient and Inclusive Agro-Food System through Enhanced Analytics, Targeting and Partnerships - TCP/ZIM/3802 2025

No results found.Agriculture is a vital source of income and food access for many people in Africa, including those in Zimbabwe. However, most farmers, fishers, pastoralists, forest dwellers, and indigenous communities in rural areas are disproportionately poor, undernourished, and highly vulnerable to conflicts and weather-related challenges. Their low productivity and limited knowledge often leave them unable to access sufficient diets or escape the cycle of poverty. The drought crisis in Southern Africa, coupled with the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, has significantly hampered agricultural production and trade. According to the World Bank, Zimbabwe's gross domestic product (GDP) was expected to contract by 10 percent in 2020 due to the pandemic. The various challenging situations and macroeconomic imbalances have prompted the Government of Zimbabwe to request the support of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in joining the Hand-in-Hand (HIH) Initiative to enhance its capacity in addressing poverty. -
ArticleSMART Global Ecosystems an academic-industrial partnership to integrate artificial intelligence in forestry
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.SMART Global Ecosystems is an alliance between the University of Valladolid and the technological company SNGULAR to promote research and training in the area of artificial intelligence and sustainable environmental data science through information and communication technologies (ICTs) and big data analysis. ICTs, together with massive data analysis, open a world of opportunities to implement training, research, and social awareness actions to develop data science and artificial intelligence methods and products that facilitate sustainable ecosystem management. Through the development of ecosystem monitoring, analysis, and management methods based on data science and artificial intelligence, the aim is to ensure Sustainability, Mitigation, Adaptation, Resilience to Global Change, and Trade-offs of Ecosystem Services (SMART) globally. Promoters, professors and researchers at the University of Valladolid (campus at Palencia) and the data and artificial intelligence team from SNGULAR, have been collaborating for twenty years in the development of programs and algorithms for ecosystem management. Through different collaborative projects developed with students from master DATAFOREST (University of Valladolid) and from Vietnam National University-University of Science (VNU University of Science), we have generated a set of lessons learned on the detection of singular trees by using ground and remote sensing data and artificial intelligence.
