Training on Mapping and Visualization in Agriculture and Climate Change using GIS and Remote Sensing Technologies

Agricultural and climate change intervention projects and programmes may fail to achieve the required outcomes and impacts due to non-use of GIS and remote sensing technology. A geographical information system GIS is a collection of hardware software, and procedures to collect, manage, retrieve, manipulate, analyze and display spatial data. Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object and thus in contrast to on-site observation, especially the Earth. This training workshop will equip participants with handy skills for use in spatial and Earth Observation EO as a tool to integrate knowledge about climate change, agriculture, and food security in a meaningful and innovative way.
