EO AFRICA Food Security and Safety in Africa – AFRI4Cast

Afri4Cast project will develop a modeling platform making full exploitation of satellite remote sensing of PRISMA and ECOSTRESS sensors for climate change impact analyses on agriculture and making it available to African stakeholders for shaping future agricultural policies in the African Continent. 

Afri4Cast will provide national-, regional-, parcel-, pixel-specific in season production estimates, mycotoxin formation risk and disease outbreak probability. Apart from the in-season yield forecast production line, AFRI4CAst will execute seasonal and long-term model simulations for multiannual yield predictions and mycotoxigenic fungi contamination risk under various climate scenarios at a coarse spatial scale.
