Published purpose
The objective of this project is to help the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations improve the functionalities (land management data ingestion and satellite image processing) of the Geospatial platform of the FAO and promote its adoption at pilot countries. Agriculture and Agri-foods Canada will greatly benefit from such a tool. In particular, it will help speed up the progress of AAFC’s national program on Sustainability Metrics that has been under development for the past ten years and the AgroClimate, Geomatics and Earth Observation’s Annual Crop Inventory Mapping and Yield Forecast.
