Seasonal climate analyses improve agricultural decision-making in Africa, potentially benefitting 125 million people
Meteorological tools can benefit farmers in multiple ways: they allow them to seed and harvest at the right moment, minimize crop losses, and inform agricultural decision making. Newly developed meteorological tools now allow better climate forecasting for a population of 125 million in East and Wes...

| description | Meteorological tools can benefit farmers in multiple ways: they allow them to seed and harvest at the right moment, minimize crop losses, and inform agricultural decision making. Newly developed meteorological tools now allow better climate forecasting for a population of 125 million in East and West Africa.
The so-called "Maproom" tools were developed by CCAFS and the Enhancing National Climate Services (ENACTS) initiative hosted by IRI at Columbia University's Earth Institute. CCAFS also supported implementation in the regions, holding 23 training visits and events. |
