Project location– Thailand
Project budget- 2,093,250 THB
Donor– Agricultural Research Development Agency (ARDA)
Project duration– 15/July/2024- 14/July/2025
Primary SDG Goal of focus: 13. Climate action
Related SDG Goals of Focus: SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), and SDG 15 (Life on Land)
Description: The project aims at creating a model system capable of simulating real-time data for the agricultural sectors, producing high-resolution data (1 km) for the entire Thailand to forecast hydrological and climate variables up to a season ahead. The project to simulate high-resolution hydrology and climate variables promises significant social impact by enabling precise seasonal forecasts at a 1 km scale. This capability supports agriculture by enhancing crop planning and irrigation strategies, thereby reducing losses and strengthening food security. By improving the accuracy of climate predictions, the project also contributes to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 15 (Life on Land), by facilitating better adaptation strategies and mitigation efforts. Ultimately, these advancements hold the potential to elevate agricultural productivity, minimize resource waste, and foster more resilient communities in the face of climate variability and change.
