EPAR’s Center on Risk and Inclusion in Food Systems (CRIFS) Launches AgGeo
Posted: 12/4/2025 (CSDE Research)
A new blog from EPAR, which is led by CSDE Affiliate Leigh Anderson, introduces a new web-based tool for exploring agricultural, geospatial, and climate data from sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Developed by EPAR Postdoctoral Scholar Joaquin Mayorga and Research Assistant Professor Didier Alia under the Center on Risk and Inclusion in Food Systems (CRIFS), the Ag GeoSpatial Data Explorer (AgGeo) processes public data on-demand and delivers results through a web interface. AgGeo currently offers three layers that help researchers and policymakers understand climate variability and its agricultural implications at the national and sub-national levels: rainfall volumes, dry days, and agro-ecological zones. The teams will continue working to expand AgGeo with additional countries and data layers, enabling broader geographic coverage.
