Multiplatform data interchange system for climate-smart agriculture in the Philippines

Abstract

© IMSCI 2020.All right reserved. Evidence-based decision-making and policy setting in the Philippine Agriculture is necessary to address post-harvest losses due to extreme typhoons, prolonged droughts, pests and diseases, and lack of access to real-time information on climate, crop and pest lifecycles. A research-action program Smarter Approaches to Reinvigorate Agriculture as an Industry in the Philippines (SARAI) was established to develop a multidisciplinary response for the farmers to be more proactive in increasing climate resilience and in reducing the vulnerability of the agricultural sector. To facilitate the exchange of data, the SARAI Knowledge Portal was developed to serve as a central hub to agricultural information and services, allowing near real-time and site-specific monitoring of crop production areas. With the readily available products in satellite imaging and information technology, the agriculture sector can take advantage of a multiplatform data interchange system to have an insight-driven judgment in their farming activities. The technologies considered encompassed methods for collaborative development connecting researchers, policymakers, and agricultural sectors in a transdisciplinary manner. Through a multiplatform deployment, the project was able to provide a multidisciplinal support for unified services to various stakeholders in climate-smart agricultural intervention and implementation.
