Leveraging Prior Results: National Agricultural Decision Support System

National Agricultural Decision Support System (NADSS) Tools The NADSS tools apply risk analysis methodologies to the study of drought and its impact on crops Integration of basic models with data generates “information” for analysis by decision makers Information can be gathered at any resolution for which we have data

Building a Risk Assessment By combining several domain specific factors from our “information layer” we are able to create maps displaying the risk of crop failure for states, regions or counties By combining several domain specific factors from our “information layer” we are able to create maps displaying the risk of crop failure for states, regions or counties An expert adjusts weight factors for each variable The risk calculator combines the variables The result is a “spatial” view of risk
