1 Nepal Agriculture Management Information System: Role of ICT for Climate Smart and Sustainable Agriculture April 23, 2015, InterMET Asia, Singapore Presented by Shib Nandan Prasad Shah Na0onal Project Director, BRCH_AMIS Ministry of Agricultural Development
2 Presentation Overview Background General Climate Hazards in Nepal PPCR (Pilot Program for Climate Resilience) and BRCH Agriculture Management Information System (AMIS) Conclusions
3 General Background!Nepal is South Asian & Land Locked Country.!Situated between India & China (Country of Mt Everest).!Area: 1,47,181 Km 2!PopulaLon: 26.4 Million!Agriculture is the major source of income! Shares more than one third in GDP.! Two third of populalon rely on Agriculture!Agriculture is mainly based on monsoon
4 Climate Hazards in Nepal The Climate of Nepal varies greatly from South to North due to the vast alltudinal varialon (68 m to 8848 m), makes the country with diverse agro- climate zones. On average, about 65 % of the total cullvated land is rainfed. Recurring climate related natural hazards undermine agricultural produclvity causing poverty and food insecurity. Crop area affected due to climate hazards (drought, flood etc) was 1,35,942 ha (2012/13)
5 Too Much(Flood) and Too Little(Drought) WATER
6 Effect of Drought on Paddy
7 Sand Filled Paddy Area
8 Damage of Irrigation Structures and River Water Flow
9 Climatic Hazards in Agriculture " Drought " Floods " Landslides " Windstorms " Hailstorms " Hot wave/ Cold wave Blocked huge river Bhotekoshi by recent landslide Bhotekoshi river
10 Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) In this perspeclves, Government of Nepal already formed SPCR (Strategic Program for Climate Resilience) and prepared PPCR (Pilot Program for Climate Resilience Program) in June, 2011.
11 Components of PPCR CANCELLED 5.Enhancing Climate Resilience of Endangered Species (WB) 1.Building Resilience of Watersheds in Mountain Eco- Regions (ADB) 2.Building Resilience to Climate- related Hazards(WB) A. Ins0tu0on & Capacity Strengthening B. Moderniza0on C. Services D. CreaLon of Agriculture Management InformaLon System (AMIS) 4.Building Climate Resilient Communi0es through Private Sector (IFC) 3.Mainstreaming Climate Change Risk Management in Development (ADB) AMIS Components
12 Objectives of BRCH Project Enhance the technical & institutional capacity of government to mitigate climate related hazards by improving accuracy & timeliness of weather & flood forecasts and warnings of climate vulnerable community by Developing Agriculture Management Information System (AMIS)
13 Agriculture Management Information System (AMIS) Provide a mechanism to deliver timely relevant climate and weather information under EWS and deals as agriculture decision support tools to farmers.
14 Agriculture Management Information System (AMIS) Provide open data access for information and web portals Build ICT assisted communication opportunities to strengthen the voice of the farmer on agricultural issues
15 Information Generation Modality (Institutional level) DHM "Real time weather "Weather forecast "Climatology outlooks "Seasonal climate outlooks NARC "Assessment of daily weather and seasonal climate patterns on crop production MoAD "Information production and dissemination "Management of databases, geo spatial data and web portal Farming community and agricultural industry Figure: An integrated informalon system composed of the meteorological (DHM), agricultural research (NARC) & agricultural planning and extension (MoAD) insltulons working together to develop and provide relevant weather & climate informalon to farmers in Nepal
16 AMIS Pilot Districts For FY 2014/15 1. Dhankuta 2. Sunsari 3. Siraha 4. Bara 5. Kavre 6. Rupendhei 7. Jumla 8. Banke
17 Department of Hydrology and Meteorology InformaLon CollecLon & DisseminaLon Mechanism (AMIS) Department of Agriculture Department of Livestock Services Web portals Regional office of Agriculture & Livestock District office of Agriculture & Livestock Community level office (Agriculture/Livestock) InformaLon disseminalon & CollecLon FM radio, SMS, PublicaLons, agri- call center I/NGOs Farmers, Farmer groups/cooperatives Web portals Ministry of Home Affairs Department of IrrigaLon Planners, Policy makers, Research organization Nepal Agricultural Research Council Concerned stakeholder, Academic Institutions InformaLon colleclon & DisseminaLon
18 AMIS Components AMIS Infrastructure AMIS Products (Information Products) Product Dissemination Capacity Building & Sustainability
19 AMIS Infrastructure Powerful Data/web/window Server, Computers Printers SoZwares AMIS- Web portal ( Central Level- MoAD, Dept, RAD, District (Agriculture/Livestock), NARC
20 AMIS Infrastructure Agro- call Center (Solar- Power Backup System) Digital Display Board at prominent loca0on Computer and Printer District Level
21 AMIS Infrastructure Mobile (Smart Phone) Climate Smart Agriculture (Mobile Applica0on) SIM Card Rain gauge Thermometer Farmer Community
22 Agromet Advisories(Products) I. Agriculture Data Digi0zing & Archiving A satellite image based digital agriculture area map, Crop produc0on parameters, Op0mal crop advisory package II. Weather & Climate Informed Agriculture Crop Map III. Crop/Livestock Monitoring System Seasonal cul0vated area assessment, Crop growth assessment, Monitoring & assessment of natural disasters in agriculture, Livestock disease assessment) IV. Climate Informa0on Products "ENSO based climatology- to detect expected rainfall and temperature during different phases including expected anomalies in rainfall & temperatures " Seasonal climate projec0ons " Seasonal climate outlooks- highligh0ng expected climate for the season & poten0al impacts on crops
23 Agromet Advisories(Products) V. Weather Informa0on Products - depend on the availability of real 0me informa0on from the proposed upgrading of the monitoring system.! Study on agriculture insurance schemes and risk transfer instruments for Nepal!Early Warning System for Drought & Floods Early weather forecasts Mostly used for tactical or operational decisions e.g planting when adequate soil moisture is present or forecast; harvesting before damaging rainfall, or hailstorms, crop protection measures when risk of pests is elevated; planning of perishable produce transportation to markets.
24 Capacity Building and Sustainability Ins0tu0onal (Abroad, In country) Short/long Term Training, Advanced Degree Courses, Regional/District Level Training to Extension Worker Farming Community Roving Seminar (MoAD, DHM, NARC, Farmer groups) Training about the handling & use of agro climate tools (Thermometer/Rain gauge/mobile Apps) for on-farm decision making Community Level Training on Use of AMIS Information Products
25 Range of AMIS Products & Services Agro-Advisory Services Agro Call Centre (Notice/Digital Display Board) Agro-Weather and Climatic Information Internet/Websites and Telecommunication Services through SMS/IVR/Toll free no. Early Warning Systems (EWS) Broadcasts through Television, Radios, Newspapers and local FM
26 Information Dissemination Modality Two way communication mechanism between service providers & receivers. Existing official structure : Department, Regional, District, Community level offices ICT in Climate Smart Agriculture : # AMIS Web-portal ( # Mobile Application on agriculture (Climate Smart Agriculture) # Phone Services: SMS, IVR, digital display board, Agro-info call center (Toll free number) Mass media: FM adverts, TV Channels, Local FM Publications : Weekly/Monthly weather bulletins, Seasonal outlooks Campaigning : Training, Workshop & Roving Seminar at community level
27 Agro Call Center
28 Agro-Met SMS services
29 Conclusion Timely climate & weather information and products under Early Warning System are inevitable to: Diminish the impact of extreme climate related events Protect lives & assets Increase Agriculture productivity Support agriculture livelihoods for sustainable growth
30 Conclusion (Cont d) Timely climate & weather information and products are essential for the agricultural sector which : help agricultural research and development communities to better monitor & assess weather & climate impacts. empower farmers to make decisions that would help reduce their vulnerability to weather and climate extremes and ultimately promote: Food security Poverty reduction Employment generation Sustainable agriculture leads to economic growth
