| Innovation Title | Land-use modelling, scenarios and decision-support tools to optimize integrated fish-agri food systems for Myanmar |
| Innovation description | Digital tools for tailoring and targeting rice fish investments developed. Outputs include refined suitability maps (v1.5 June and V2 December 2020) incorporating available social and economic data at the township level for all 26 townships in the Ayeyarwady region and climate predictions to 2040 utilising WorldClim data layers. A technical report and a set of guidelines for database design and formatting, R coding language and use of QGIS and comprehensive database for the AD. |
