Background

• There are some fears that the rice production will be damaged by global warming.

• If farmers know the potential crop production except rice, it is very helpful for agriculture and economy in Khon Kaen.

• We are now developing a Web-based search tool for potential cropping by GSBUA .

GSBUA(Global Scale Bottom Up Approach)

• A new concept that we propose to emphasize the importance of farmers' action for global warming fear.

• Practice by farmers is more important than just a theory.

Web-based suitable crops judgment system

• is developed based on the principle that the programs in existence for plant growth should be applicable to different weather data without any modifications.

• can check a suitable field and crop• can search possibility of rice cropping in all areas

over the world• can display the potential rice cropping for any breed

on Google map

Principle: Horizontal integration of weather data

Example of GSBUASuitable search tool for field & crop

• Select the location on Google Map• Get meteorological information nearest the location

Can predict growth rate in global warming

Select breed

Select the location

Estimate meteorological condition using observation data near the location

生育せず

Cannot grow because it is too cold

Can Koshi-hikari grow in Thailand?

Grow faster than Japan

Can potential cropping in all over the world using the same program（ But now only on the condition of much water)

We need to estimate soil moisture!
