Agriculture and Food Security

The food security thematic service area includes agriculture, rangeland management and pastoralism, and fisheries and aquaculture, particularly through the lens of increasing climate variability. Key topics include linking agricultural productivity assessments, crop yield models, and use of climate scenarios for assessing the impacts. SERVIR SEA focuses on generating seasonal predictions of crop yield, assessments of interannual to decadal climate change on crop yields, and potential adaptation tools to monitor and/or mitigate the climate change impacts on agriculture, rangeland management and pastoralism, and/or fisheries and aquaculture.
