Crop yield monitoring system for Africa

IITA, together with a number of partners, is building a monitoring system able to predict yield for specific crop types to support tillage and conservation agriculture practices (mixed farming systems MFS initiatives). OEMC project can speed up the predictive mapping of crop fields developed by IITA and help upscale the process to cover the entire African continent. OEMC can also help train producers and users of agronomy data on how to update the predictions and how to communicate associated uncertainty and connected risks.
