How can EO support food security?
Here are five main entry points where EO and geoinformation science can help improve food security and achieve better management of food systems.
The five entry points for Earth observation:
- Quantify the problem. Where is the yield lower than expected?
- Support informed decisions that address the problem. Why are the yields low?
- Guide actions to act upon those decisions. What can be done to improve the yield?
- Measure the impacts of those actions. What is the progress based on the interventions?
Monitor progress and improve the management of food systems. How does the yield evolve in time based on the different interventions?
