Raised-field agriculture has also been used in countries like #China, #Mexico + #Morocco.

#WaruWaru also stems #desertification + creates a cooling (+warming during the night) #microclimate when combined w/ the #SolarPanels, similar to the #irrigated #gardens created by the Muslims, e.g. in the #Alhambra in #Andalucia. In combination with the solar panels. Jointly with the building of #Roman type #cisterns, #agriculture might even be extended to years..

The Landsat-Derived Global Rainfed and Irrigated-Cropland Product (LGRIP) provides high resolution, #global #cropland data to assist and address #food and #water #security issues of the twenty-first century.

As an extension of the Global Food Security-support Analysis Data ( #GFSAD ) project, LGRIP maps the world’s #agricultural lands by dividing them into #irrigated and #rainfed croplands, and calculates irrigated and rainfed areas for every country in the world.

LGRIP data are produced using Landsat 8 time-series satellite sensor data for the 2014-2017 time period to create a nominal 2015 product.

Each LGRIP 30 meter resolution GeoTIFF file contains a contains a layer that identifies areas of rainfed cropland (cropland areas that are purely dependent on direct precipitation), irrigated cropland (cropland that had at least one irrigation during the crop growing period), non-cropland, and water bodies over a 10° by 10° area, as well as an accuracy assessment of the product. A low-resolution browse image is also available.
