Remote sensing based Information and Insurance for Crops in emerging economies (RIICE) in Kenya (2023 & 2024)

The CGIAR Initiative on Digital Innovation and Transformation (WP4) aims to improve real time monitoring of food system dynamics, improve the flow of information for a better understanding of the food systems, and enhance digital data streams for improving decision making. To achieve these objective...

description The CGIAR Initiative on Digital Innovation and Transformation (WP4) aims to improve real time monitoring of food system dynamics, improve the flow of information for a better understanding of the food systems, and enhance digital data streams for improving decision making. To achieve these objectives, the International Rice Research Institute, in partnership with sarmap, Switzerland, and the National Irrigation Authority (NIA), Kenya, is piloting a digital rice production monitoring platform. RIICE is a remote sensing-based digital platform that delivers near real time, geolocalized, accurate, and updated seasonal information on rice area, yield, planting dates, and climate-driven yield losses. The system has been tested and the rice production was monitored during two main rain seasons and one off season in the Mwea irrigation scheme (2023-24). This monitoring has been extended to irrigation schemes in Western Kenya in 2024. The NIA team supported the acquisition of field data for each season and site. An inventory of rice areas was initiated for all irrigation schemes in Kenya. Stakeholders meetings were held in Nairobi to discuss the customization of the RIICE platform and review initial RIICE results. A stakeholder engagement event “Engagement for South-South Collaboration on Improved Rice Cultivation Using Geospatial Sciences” was organized to discuss opportunities for an R&D program focused on geospatial applications. This report covers activities conducted and outputs generated during 2023-2024.
