Technological package of the 3 projects. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1525/elementa.2020.00106.t1
| Project . | Equipment Involved . | The Funding Partners . | Target Audience . | Purpose of Technology . |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Service provision through mobile phone | Mobile phone | Orange Mali, RIC4REC | Farmers | Improve farmers decision making by reducing uncertainty through provision of advisory services, technical guidance, and weather forecast information |
| STARS ISABELLA | Satellite, on ground GPS, camera, manual on-screen digitizing smart tablet, unmanned aerial vehicles | Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation ICRISAT | Farmers and research institutions | Develop land tenure information system, delineate field boundaries, and anticipate conflicts that erupt during the rainy season. The long court procedures required to resolve these conflicts is time-consuming and detrimental to agricultural production and food security |
| Sentinel-2 Agri | All equipment involved in STARS along with high-capacity server, a reliable access to internet and reliable availability of electricity power | European Space Agency | National agriculture statistics and planning offices and research institutions | Improve agriculture statistics and yield estimation to prepare the ground for agricultural insurance with accurate yield and production prediction |
