Synopsis (short abstract) The Project will: - provide a standardized framework for characterizing climate, soil and terrain conditions relevant to agricultural production; - be based on a geospatial inventory of available and new generated natural resources compiled with recent remotely sensed data sets; - allow assessments of land productivity for location specific agro-ecological conditions; - enable the harmonization and integration of a variety of geospatial datasets, model scenarios and assessments; - provide poli cy options for sustainable management, international conventions and agreements addressing issues of climate change mitigation and adaptation: - establish comprehensive capacity-building program targeting various agencies at different administrative levels; - develop e-learning curriculum on “Geospatial information and technology for agriculture monitoring and environment impact assessment for multipurpose scope”; - be designed to facilitate sharing of good practices, lessons and knowledge man agement.

    Rice and potatoes are Afghanistan’s two most staple crops after wheat. Rice production is dependent on water from irrigation canals, with most of Afghanistan’s irrigation infrastructure in disrepair, farmers are vulnerable. Between 2016 and 2018, FAO in Afghanistan (FAOAF) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) rehabilitated irrigation infrastructure and laid the foundations of a virus-free potato seed industry in three provinces (Kunduz, Baghlan and Takhar). The project enhanced food production and contributed to the Government’s agricultural development and food security objectives. The evaluation recommends that future irrigation rehabilitation includes training to demonstrate improved cropping practices to help farmers build their resilience to external shocks. Training of potato farmers and enterprises involved in the industry will help determine the sustainability of the industry beyond the end of the project.
