CLIMATE ADAPTATION AND AGRICULTURAL DECISION MAKING 2014-2019 (KENYA, ZAMBIA)
This project uses high-frequency data from environmental sensors and farmers to understand how farmers respond to different types of environmental shocks (especially drought) and how those shocks shape their perceptions of climate variability. This involves coupling data from @ArableLabs pods with weekly data collected from more than 1,200 farmers via SMS. Key products include real-time monitoring system of social and environmental dynamics and an agent-based model of food security. This is a collaborative project between our group at IU (including Beth Plale and Shahzeen Attari), Kelly Caylor (UCSB) and Lyndon Estes (Princeton U.)
