Synopsis (short abstract) Temperature variation affects the food security of a region, in particular at rainfed croplands. To assess the food security, temperature anomaly between two time periods (1981-2022 and 2018-2022) is measured from ECMWF data for eastern Bhutan (1981-2021) in the context of GEF–8 projects. The main aim of the GEF–8 project is to transform cropland to improve the region's food security.

    Precipitation variation affects the food security of a region. To assess the food security, precipitation anomaly between two time periods (1981–2022 and 2018–2022) is measured from CHIRPS data for eastern Bhutan (1981–2022) in the context of GEF–8 projects. The main aim of the GEF–8 project is to transform cropland to improve the region's food security.

    Information on rice land area is required to monitor food security indicators and provide information on access to water, rice cropping intensities and more. Rice land extent for eastern Bhutan was mapped by training a machine learning model and classifying satellite imageries (Planet, Sentinel–1) in GEE. These datasets were prepared in the context of GEF–8 projects. The main aim of the GEF–8 project is to transform rice fields to improve the region's food security.

    Cropland is fundamental to food security. Cropland information is required to monitor food security indicators and provide information on access to water, cropping intensities and more. Cropland for eastern Bhutan was prepared by training a machine learning model and classifying satellite imageries (Planet, Sentinel–1) in GEE. Cropland data were prepared in context of GEF–8 projects. The main aim of the GEF–8 project is to transform rice fields to improve the region's food security.
