Foodshed Information Service
An information service providing seasonal crop yield forecasts and foodshed analysis under future scenarios for Ghana, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. Developed at Wageningen University & Research as part of the EU Horizon Europe SAFE4ALL project.
This tool is part of SAFE4ALL (Safeguarding African Foodsheds and Ecosystems for all Actors across Local, regional and international Levels to manage migration), funded by the EU Horizon Europe programme (grant No. 101137814). SAFE4ALL addresses food security, climate change, and migration in Sub-Saharan Africa through tailored, user-centred climate services co-developed with communities, municipalities, and national partners in Ghana, Kenya, and Zimbabwe.
Seasonal crop yield outlooks
Monthly forecasts of how this season's crop yields compare with normal in Ghana, Kenya, and Zimbabwe, from the LPJmL crop model driven by ECMWF seasonal weather forecasts. For any place, see how the season has gone so far and the range of possible yields at harvest.
Where food comes from, today and in the future
Maps of foodsheds showing how domestic production, trade, and food demand combine to determine food availability in Ghana, Kenya, and Zimbabwe, today and under long-term scenarios (SSP2-4.5 and SSP3-7.0).
Data underpinning the Foodshed Information Service
Reference data behind the Foodshed Information Service. Crop calendars are available now; yield statistics, environmental layers, and climate climatologies are coming soon.
