| Abstract | In order to target poverty reduction we need to understand, describe and explain its spatial distribution and be able to predict the degree and distribution of poverty in other regions and/or at other times. Poverty maps should therefore incorporate potential driving factors that in some way or other are associated with, and possibly even responsible for the different levels of poverty being mapped. In this analysis we start from two assumptions: a) poverty is a function of several interlinked factors, including agricultural activities, human and animal diseases, natural resources and other environmentally-determined factors; and b) many important characteristic of the environment can be described by earth-observation satellite imagery, through their ability to capture seasonal variations of a range of environmental factors. |
