  • These two modules measure the health of agricultural land using distinct approaches that are useful for multiple purposes, including research and analysis, monitoring and evaluation, and program management.

  • The first module, the Agriculture Health Monitoring and Evaluation Tool allows users to draw farm outlines or upload shapefiles to visualize and statistically measure the change in vegetation health and water content, which is useful to identify problem areas in farm fields. The module also offers easy-to-use statistical tests (t-tests) that determine whether the change in vegetation health and plant water content is statistically significant. Further, the grouped tests are also available, allowing users to measure different agriculture interventions’ effectiveness in improving farm performance using objective satellite imagery indicators.

  • The second module, the Agriculture Degradation Tracking in Syria, features a new indicator describing the state of agriculture within small areas across the whole of Syria. The novel indicator quantifies the collective trends of several vegetation and soil health indicators and categorizes them into groups describing the overall “health” of agricultural land in each small area. These agriculture health categories are summarized at the sub-district level for targeting purposes, with the small area categorizations serving as a useful metric for targeting within a sub-district.

  • Data sources: Sentinel-1; Sentinel-2; Landsat 5/7/8/9
