TAPAS

Winner of the SFI AI for Societal Good Challenge, the TAPAS project (co-funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs) is combining AI and satellite imagery to measure how agriculture is adapting to climate stress.

The Challenge: Enabling countries to develop evidence-based means of measuring, reporting and verifying climate change adaptation in the agri-food sector. 

The Solution: The TAPAS team will develop an AI-based approach that enables the agri-food sector to assess climatic perturbations. The proposed technology will initially focus on characterising climate change in the developing world but will be scalable for implementation globally to support national governments' compliance with the UNFCCC resolutions.
