Online resources to help Uruguay’s agriculture sector
One of IRI’s goals for its work in South America is to bring state-of-the-art climate information into the hands of people and groups who can make immediate use of it. In Uruguay, the IRI has teamed up with the country’s agriculture research institute to develop a comprehensive online resource for farmers, farming cooperatives and policy makers to help them gauge climate risks and make decisions on where, when and how to grow crops.
The resource, called an Information and Decision Support System, gives users relevant information on estimated crop yields, pasture production, current climate conditions, climate forecasts and areas at risk for drought and pests. Users can access the IDSS from the web pages of the Uruguay’s Instituto National de Investigacion Agropecuaria (INIA).
