We will develop novel EO-based solutions for drought monitoring at a national scale in Kenya.
ADM Kenya will provide cloud-based processing algorithms that will allow improving spatially explicit drought hazard/impact analysis. Furthermore, the project aims to develop drought-relevant agricultural information. This includes high-resolution crop management information based on multisource remote sensing data such as irrigation (at a national level) and contextual (localized) information on cropping practices (for pilot areas). For contextualization/validation, we develop innovative data fusion approaches based on field observations. |

These are primary components of major climate risks for Africa, including demands on water resources, reduced crop productivity, adverse impacts on livestock, and biome changes. These in turn have major consequences for undernutrition, migration, human conflict and wildlife welfare. Some of the benefits of an effective drought monitoring solution are: Detection of early onsets of water stress related to drought conditions, its severity and spatial extent
Improvement in understanding water-crop productivity in the long term
Assisting yield forecasting efforts and food security |
