Capacity Building on Integrating Geo-spatial Technologies in Climate-smart Agriculture in Bhutan

Bhutan, a small kingdom in the southern foothills of the Himalayas known for its commitment to environmental conservation and Gross National Happiness, is increasingly embracing innovative approaches to address the challenges posed by climate change in its agricultural sector. Recognizing the vital role of agriculture in the nation’s economy and the vulnerability of its predominantly agrarian communities to climate variability, Bhutan is actively exploring the integration of geospatial technologies into its agricultural practices. This intersection of geospatial technologies and agriculture, often referred to as geospatial agriculture or precision farming, holds immense promise in enhancing climate resilience and sustainability – a concept encapsulated by the term Climate-smart Agriculture.
