Desert Agriculture Data Collaboration for Food Security
Desert Agriculture Data Collaboration for Food Security
Description:
This collaboration brings together agricultural companies and research institutions to analyze data on desert agriculture techniques, water-efficient crops, and soil management to optimize food production in arid regions.
Objectives:
• Enhance food security through optimized desert agriculture.
• Reduce water consumption in agriculture.
• Support sustainable farming practices in arid environments.
Socio-Economic Impact:
• Government: Improved food security, reduced dependence on food imports, and alignment with sustainability goals.
• Private Sector: Access to innovative agricultural techniques, improved crop yields, and reduced resource costs.
Potential Datasets:
• Agricultural data on crop performance and resource usage.
• Information on genetically modified or selectively bred crops designed for arid conditions, with performance data under different desert environments.
• Performance metrics for various irrigation technologies, including data on water use efficiency and crop yield correlation.
• Data on the quantity of inputs (seeds, fertilizers, water) and outputs (crop yields, quality metrics) for various desert farming techniques.
Potential Stakeholders:
Agricultural Technology Companies, Seed and Biotechnology Companies, Water Management Companies, Sustainable Agriculture and Soil Management Firms, Food and Beverage Companies,
Code: Agriculture
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
International Best Practices:
Data-sharing initiatives between agricultural companies and the government support desert agriculture, improving food security and reducing water consumption.
