Flood-mapping tool could change how agricultural planning works

A new flood-mapping tool, containing data from 1985 to now, could be what the Global South needs for agricultural planning that protects food security .

The new data source is the first comprehensive source of flooding information globally. 

  This will be particularly relevant for the Global South, where agricultural output and food security are directly connected to rainfall levels.

 According to one study, tropical rainfall will be drastically impacted by climate change – leading to new levels of flood risk, disaster possibility and food insecurity for people in those regions.
