Resumen
Descripción
The leaflet presents the tool used in the Laos Climate Services for Agriculture (LaCSA) to collect agronomical data in near-real time. Under the collaboration with FAO, the data are now used as part of the LaCSA to produce climate services for farmers at weekly and monthly intervals. Near real-time agronomical data includes sowing, flowering, harvesting and pest and disease information. Input forms and incidence reports are also presented. In addition, the leaflet also explains how the new tool helps with strategic crop management, to improve the capacities of farmers at the local level, and to leverage proactive farming practices. Finally, the leaflet explains how government entities and national and local NGOs who work in agriculture promotion can use this information for capacity building and rural development programs.
