AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY

11/26/2013

SATELLITE BASED CROP MONITORING SYSTEM

On going project on the improvement of national and provincial capacity to collect and analyze agricultural information and deliver accurate, reliable, timely, precise and cost effective agricultural statistics using satellite and ground based observations to address issues of national food security.

This is being obtained through:

• integration of remotely sensed data into existing data collection, analysis, and dissemination systems

• design and implementation of rigorous agriculture and rural survey methods (e.g. area frame and crop yield models)

• improvement of quality and outlook of current crop forecast/estimation bulletins

• development of human resources and technical capacities

DISASTER MONITORING AND MITIGATION SUPPORT

11/26/2013

Since the earthquake of 2005 satellite imagery has been extensively utilized for relief/rescue, early recovery and rehabilitation/reconstruction efforts.

SUPARCO & UN Office of Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) signed a cooperation agreement for establishment of UN-SPIDER Regional Support Office (RSO) during 47th Scientific & Technical Subcommittee Sessions on Peaceful Use of Outer Space (COPOUS) on 10th Feb 2010

PAK_RSO is Responsible for provision of timely space based information incase of major disaster in the region. It also undertakes awareness, capacity building and technical advisory support of organizations involved in disaster management and mitigation. The PAK-RSO operates on 24/7 basis.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

11/26/2013

Government of Pakistan approved a project to assess the increasing trend of winter dense fog in Punjab

The results are:

• Indian region each year (October to March) is enveloped with haze, dense winter fog starting from northeast to northwest and extended to the eastern part of Pakistan

• The maximum haze-affected area during the last four years (2006-2010) in Pakistan ranged from 155,241 Km2 to 353,947 Km2

• The maximum winter fog-affected area during last four years in Pakistan ranged from 136,269 Km2 to 380,921 Km2

• Agricultural productivity and human health affected

FOG AEROSOL CHARACTERIZATION, SOURCE APPORTIONMENT AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT

POLLUTION - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

• Studies have been carried out on regional aerosols

• Integrated network of environmental observatories needs to be established to assess environmental impact including climate change

NATIONAL ENVIRONNEMENTAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

(NEIMS)

• To contribute in promotion of sustainable development through national capacity building in developing, managing and utilizing environmental information for decision-making

• To review and analyze current situation of environmental data/information management

• To develop sectoral and inter-sectoral database of existing environmental information

• To establish functional network of National Environmental Information Management System
