Enhance Agricultural Resilience to Climate Change
Climate change has disrupted the agriculture sector, worsening crop failures and famine. This study seeks to design a comprehensive blueprint for enhancing agricultural resilience through climate-smart interventions. Leveraging the capabilities of the District Health Information Software 2 (“DHIS2”) platform, we propose a data-driven approach to mitigate and adapt to climate change to solve the problem of the inter-sector data gap. A case study of the selected food estate in Indonesia is the focal point for demonstrating the feasibility of proposing the best intervention method. This study integrates diverse data sources (such as local climate patterns, genome sequencing, agricultural potential outputs, and socioeconomic indicators) within the DHIS2 platform. The integrated dataset will provide many insights to guide the identification and implementation of context-specific climate-smart practices. The selected food estate will serve as the basis for evaluating the effectiveness of these interventions, focusing on enhancing crop yields, optimizing water usage, improving soil health, and analyzing the genome sequencing of seeds. Metadata and datasets managed through DHIS2 will assist the government in monitoring key performance indicators, enabling real-time progress tracking and impact assessment This study aims to design a potential blueprint for a more sustainable and resilient agricultural sector by combining DHIS2’s data management capabilities with targeted climate-smart strategies. The findings are expected to inform policy formulation to address famine and climate change; 's impact on national scales
