Developing sustainable business models using Earth Observation for climate adaptation
Increasing climate-related risks including extreme heat, drought and the high prevalence of pests and diseases puts agricultural and food systems under constant pressure. While new data and technologies, such as Earth Observation (EO), can help predict and prevent threats, it is not readily available. This project aims to close this gap by delivering a multi-service, multi-user platform that supports collaborative data sharing and application. The system will help to meet the challenges of adaptive agriculture, integrating data sets that address the exposure, hazards and vulnerability of individual commodity supply chains to climate-driven risks. CABI is leading on developing sustainable business and governance models, and a maize use case in Kenya that will help to understand user needs and challenges that EO data and analytics can help address.
One Health Hub
The One Health Hub is a knowledge, evidence, and learning platform that promotes a cross-sectoral One Health agenda encompassing human, animal, plant, and ecosystem health. It identifies gaps in knowledge, analyses evidence, and helps to shape policies for a more interconnected approach to health. The platform works with global and regional organizations to help mainstream a One Health approach in sustainable development. It also supports global development initiatives by helping them to embed One Health thinking in their programming. The One Health Hub is managed by CABI with funding from UK International Development from the UK government, and works in partnership with the Juno Evidence Alliance.
