1.1. Digital for impact: digital capabilities as accelerators to support the transformation of agrifood systems 7
Topics are the following: getting started with HiH Geospatial Platform, how to use time function, how to give feedback, how to do analysis, tables, how to do a story, the ABCs of application programming interface (API), how to add tabular data, Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network (CKAN) metadata publishing workflow, CKAN region mapping, styling data on CKAN, GeoNetwork metadata publishing workflow, how to publish vector data, how to publish raster cubes, GIS analysis using Google MyMaps and Earth Engine, GIS analysis using Desktop GIS (ESRI, QGIS), ESRI ArcGIS Online.
HiH GIS Analysis
The FAO GIS analysis team has prepared agricultural typologies and multicriteria decision analysis, developing procedures for various value chains including crop storage, livestock (dairy and slaughterhouse), freshwater fish farming and offshore aquaculture (several hundred maps for 36 countries). Future work includes the development of fisheries typologies and processes for additional value chains/systems, irrigation suitability/potential, a child labour risk map and blockchain potential. While undertaking the analysis, the United Nations Second Level Administrative Boundaries (SLAB) methodology was used to document and assemble the most up-to-date, government-approved sub- national boundaries compliant with UN country boundaries. Support for these boundaries, as well as for alternative administrative boundaries (Database of Global Administrative Areas, Humanitarian Data Exchange) and hydrological basins and fishing areas, have been added to the HiH Platform. Future work includes greater collaboration with partners working within administrative boundaries, including the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC).
New developments of the platform
FAO worked throughout 2022 to continuously improve the HiH Geospatial Platform to better serve users and provide the latest data, in the most relevant way, with new features and datasets incorporated.
New welcome feature, tour guide for first users, focus and supporting shape files features These were among the first features developed to enhance user experience, also including a new focus feature and conducted development work to support shape files.
VIDEO Hand-in-Hand Geospatial Platform: tech highlights from 2022
The HiH Platform now has a new remote sensing tab for highlighting new available datasets, to find Minimum Greenness Onset data on the first and second growing cycle from 2013 to 2020.
