Activity/Product Description
Development and Leveraging Geospatial Science, Technology and Application (GeSTA) in an integrated agro-ecosystem system research and development with following specific thematic areas;
(1) Develop mechanism for efficient use of earth observation data and informatics for quantification dryland agri-food systems (use case)
(2) Development and maintenance of monitoring and evaluation platform and spatial data integration.
(3) Quantification of land degradation in dryland agro-ecosystems (beta version for selected flagship)
(4). Development of web-enabled “Digital Agriculture” platform (pilot case) for accelerating effective intervention and scaling.
