Using macro environmental data to support long term adaptation, management and mitigation of sustainability and climate change issues within agriculture and supply chains to the UK food retail sector

该项目汇集了利兹大学和格兰瑟姆研究所，以及来自生物碳追踪和英国ESRI的商业开发商，为塞恩斯伯里提供了针对特定地点的多参数环境风险概况的见解，包括现在和未来的预测。风险概况将结合三类数据：环境条件的多层地理空间数据；结合作物模型和生产条件（预测产量）；并链接到公司数据（如供应商位置、供应链、采购量）。地质过程模型的输出将显示影响产品质量、可用性或成本的风险（按类型和位置），并允许基于模型的可持续性和风险分析。在该项目中，ArcGIS在线将用于与塞恩斯伯里的供应商分享特定地点的发现，这些发现将通过种植者的直接经验得到验证。该系统的开发将为塞恩斯伯里及其庞大的供应商网络提供见解，使他们在全球市场上更具竞争力。洞察最终将为投资决策和合同安排提供信息，以塑造未来的供应链。

This project brings together the University of Leeds and Grantham Institute with commercial developers from BioCarbon Tracker and ESRI UK to provide Sainsbury’s with insights into site-specific, multi-parameter environmental risk profiles, both for now and for future forecasting. Risk profiles will combine three categories of data: multiple layers of geospatial data for environmental conditions; combined with crop models and production conditions (to predict performance); and linked to corporate data (such as supplier locations, supply chains, procurement volumes). Outputs from geoprocess models will indicate risks - by type and location - that affect product quality, availability or cost and allow model-based analysis of sustainability and risk. Within the project, ArcGIS Online will be used to share findings with Sainsbury’s suppliers for specific sites, which will be validated with growers’ direct experiences. The development of this system will provide insights to Sainsbury’s and its vast network of suppliers to make them more competitive in the global market. Insights will ultimately inform investment decisions and contractual arrangements to shape supply chains of the future.
