Regional Climate Resilience Workshop
Building Climate Change Resilience
January 11-13, 2022
Innovative Tools: Emerging Digital Applications in Climate-Smart Agriculture
The Context
The Agriculture Sector in Jamaica and the wider Caribbean is inherently vulnerable to climate. The holdings are small, very heavily reliant on rainfall, susceptible to droughts, and have limited investment in heat and drought-tolerant crops. Further, the general absence of site and varietal specific yield results in a manual approach is to yield optimization and to investigate the impacts of agroecology on production. The ACCEPT Agri portal is an online platform developed under the National and Regional tranches of the PPCR that allows for a customized assessment of yield potential. The portal is based on the Decision Support System for Agro-technology Transfer (DSSAT) which runs in the background. Through an interactive geo-referenced map, user-defined crop management information, site weather, and soil, site-specific yield information can be accessed in graphical and tabular formats. The portal was developed under the National and Regional tracks of the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) and updated with support from the CCRIF.
The Objectives
- To build awareness of climate resilience options in the Caribbean Agriculture Sector;
- To demonstrate the value-added of crop simulation modeling;
- To provide hands-on training in the use of e-solutions for climate resilience: ACCEPT Agri, C-SAC, Artificial intelligence, and reef modeling
- Evaluation of Caribbean climate (Resilience) service products for the Agriculture Sector
- To explore options for financing Caribbean Climate resilience
