"Big data, big results" - One of the best tools the Caribbean has in its arsenal as agriculture adapts to climate change is the use of Agricultural Data modelling. Models run through the SPARKS supercomputer at UWI Mona, combined with data collected through field testing and the examination of historical climate and weather patterns has allowed researchers in the region to begin to plot a new way forward, one where our farmers, through the use of data should be able to increase yield, even in the face of climate uncertainty.
Joining us today are Dr. Dale Rankine from the Climate Studies Group, Mona (CSGM) and Kistian Flemming from the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI), who will discuss how the region can bounce forward, using data modelling.
The CaribClimate Podcast has been commissioned by the Caribbean Regional PPCR. A 5-year, 10.9 Million USD project funded by the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) and administered by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), through the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona Office of Research and Innovation (MORI). The project's objectives were to:
1. Improve the Caribbean's processes to acquire, store, analyze, access and disseminate climate-relevant data.
2. Pilot and scale-up innovative climate-resilient initiatives in the region.
