Book (stand-alone)HandbookAgro-informatics Platform
How to use the time function
2025Also available in:
No results found.This guide introduces the time function of the FAO Agro-informatics Platform. The time function allows you to explore how data points evolve over a selected period, making it possible to analyse temporal dynamics directly on the map. By enabling or disabling the time dimension, you can either view all available data points at once or focus on specific time intervals to better understand change over time. This feature is particularly useful for datasets that include point-based information – such as agricultural observations, climate-related records, or socioeconomic indicators – where understanding when events occur is as important as where they occur. With the time function, you can trace developments, identify trends, and assess variations across different timeframes. Using this functionality can support monitoring, research, and planning activities. For example, it can help identify seasonal cycles, detect anomalies, or evaluate the impact of interventions over time. The time function thus provides a dynamic and flexible way to connect spatial data with temporal insights, enhancing evidence-based decision-making. -

How to perform deviations from averages analysis
2025Also available in:
No results found.This guide introduces you to the process of performing deviations from averages analysis on the FAO Agro-informatics Platform. This type of analysis allows you to examine how data in a specific area diverge from long-term averages or baseline values, making it easier to detect anomalies, unusual patterns, or significant changes over time. By using this tool, you can explore whether a region is experiencing conditions above or below expected norms, for example in terms of agricultural production, land cover, or environmental indicators. Such insights are essential for identifying risks, assessing resilience, and supporting timely responses in areas affected by climate variability, resource stress, or policy shifts. Through this guide, you will learn how to add datasets, define or upload your area of interest, and generate charts that highlight deviations from average conditions. The results can be customized, visualized, and downloaded, providing a practical framework for research, monitoring, and decision-making. Whether your objective is to monitor agricultural stability, detect early signs of stress, or evaluate long-term changes against historical baselines, deviations from averages analysis offers a valuable perspective to support data-driven strategies. -

How to create and share a story
2025Also available in:
No results found.This guide introduces the story feature of the FAO Agro-informatics Platform, which allows you to create interactive narratives based on geospatial data. A story is a sequence of captured scenes from the platform – such as maps, datasets, and visualizations – combined to guide viewers through a specific theme, trend, or analysis. By creating a story, you can move beyond static maps and transform data into a visual journey that highlights key insights. You can compare different time periods, showcase geographic patterns, or illustrate the impact of certain changes with clarity and context. Each scene preserves the exact map view and data configuration, enabling you to structure your analysis as a step-by-step narrative. Stories are particularly useful for communication and collaboration. They allow researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to share findings with colleagues, stakeholders, or the public in a clear and engaging format. Instead of providing raw data, you can tell a story that explains why the data matter and what they reveal about agriculture, land, or socioeconomic dynamics. Through this guide, you will learn how to capture, edit, and share scenes to build your own story. This functionality supports evidence-based dialogue, capacity development, and advocacy by turning complex geospatial analysis into accessible narratives that inform action.

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportOverview of the biochar sector in Viet Nam and the AI4Biochar tool
Technical report
2025Also available in:
No results found.This report outlines the tools, framework and strategies necessary to promote the biochar industry within the country, focusing on how to stimulate investments and ensure sustainable growth in the sector in Viet Nam. One key tool to support decisions is the AI4biochar tool, which has been applied to Viet Nam as a proof of concept in 2024, and which is presented hereby. The report explores the current state of the biochar market in Viet Nam, which remains underdeveloped despite its significant potential. It also emphasizes the need for a comprehensive policy framework that can incentivize both public and private sector investments, as well as enhance capacity building for stakeholders involved in biochar production and application. -
BookletTechnical report2nd Meeting of Global Coordination Committee on Foot and Mouth Disease (GCC-FMD)
Report of the virtual meeting, 12 April 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The second meeting of the GCC-FMD was organized virtually under the umbrella of the GF-TADs, by its FMD Working Group (WG) on 12 April 2022. The participants included representatives of 11 GCC-FMD Standing Member organizations, and representatives from the FAO and OIE regional offices, the representatives from FAO/WOAH regional Reference Centres, and the head of the FAO/WOAH World Reference Laboratory for FMD (WRLFMD, The Pirbright Institute, UK). The FMD-WG, is looking to this committee to guide in the final phase of the implementation of the FAO/WOAH Global FMD Control Strategy, through sharing information and experiences, improving the alignment and coordination of regional initiatives with the FAO/WOAH Global FMD control strategy and eventually developing a 5-year global FMD action plan. The overall purpose of the GCC-FMD is to: (i) Facilitate the implementation of the Global strategy as it is entering the final phase of its implementation; (ii) Enhance information exchange and coordination at regional level; (iii) Enable replication of success across regions. The GCC-FMD Chair (PANAFTOSA) and Co-chair (GFRA), Mr. Jean Philippe Dop, WOAH Deputy Director General and Mr. Keith Sumption, FAO Chief Veterinary Officer graced the opening session of the second meeting of the GCC-FMD. During this meeting, Standing members’ inputs will be sought to find solutions to the challenges for FMD control that are common across regions. Current and planned initiatives under the themes of regional governance, advocacy, public private partnerships (PPP) and technical issues will be discussed to guide the future action plan. -
BookletFlagship概要：2025年世界粮食和农业领域土地及水资源状况
增产提质潜力
20252025年版《世界粮食和农业领域土地及水资源状况》强调了人为土地退化、水资源短缺与气候变化等紧迫挑战及其对农业生产力和生态系统的影响，并在守护有限资源的前提下，审视土地和水资源在提升可持续农业生产方面尚未被发掘的潜力。本报告以综合视角审视土地、土壤和水资源，涵盖作物、牧场、森林、渔业与水产养殖等不同生产体系；同时，基于更新的全球农业生态区划（GAEZ）评估所提供的数据与信息，报告对主要栽培作物的生产潜力进行了系统分析。报告进一步探讨了土地、土壤和水资源可持续利用与管理的可行方案与综合路径，并辅以实例加以说明，明确了扩大实施规模、实现持久影响所需的关键支撑条件。当下关于土地、土壤和水资源管理所做出的选择，将决定我们如何在满足当前与未来需求的同时，为子孙后代守护好这一地球弥足珍贵的资源。
