Sessions
Climate Change is affecting our daily lives. Already for many years, we are interested in how this will influence agriculture and livelihoods on the African continent. In this talk we will show a tracking methodology with open data and opensource software. The main data source is satellite imagery from METEOSAT (MSG) as well as rainfall estimates by NOAA to show trends in the last 15 years. We will share links to free data and scripts and make a list of all software used in a step-by-step guide.
