Increasing Agricultural Production and Resilience Through Improved Agrometeorological Services

This study was undertaken in support of the World Bank
project, Agroweather Tools for Adapting to Climate
Change. The overall goal of this pilot project is to establish
community-based agro-weather risk management
tools. These tools are to be supported by a flow of weather
and climate information via information and communication
technology (ICT) delivery systems.
While some advice is provided on how farmers
can use meteorological and climatological information
in their operations, this is not the main thrust of the
report. It focuses instead on the generation and provision
of such information in a timely manner and in formats
that inform decision making by farmers and by ministerial
staff .
