Factsheet: Digital Crop Insurance in Mongolia
Combining Ecosystem-based Adaptation and Digital Crop Insurance for Smallholder Farmers.
Mongolia is helping smallholder vegetable farmers adopt water-efficient technologies and digital crop insurance to protect harvests, incomes and food security from climate shocks.
The project combines solar-powered irrigation, climate-resilient greenhouses and agroforestry to help farmers produce more food with limited water and withstand extreme weather. The greenhouse generates most of the additional farm income, while efficient irrigation, trees and insurance protect production against water scarcity, wind and other climate risks. It will also explore the design of a digital crop insurance tool—combining satellite data, AI and farmers’ photographs—to improve risk assessment and claims processing.
