Food Systems, Land Use and Restoration (FOLUR)

MAPATHON Day One: The MAPATHON training kicked off today with an introduction to Collect Earth and Google Earth. Participants engaged in hands-on sessions exploring key features, sampling techniques, and methodologies for accurate land representation. The momentum is building, and participants are eager to strengthen their skills at both training centres in Akure and Calabar. We look forward to even more engaging and impactful sessions in the days ahead. 🚀 @theGEF @FAO @FOLURimpact #sustainableforestry #gis #fao

A IFC, a Raiar Orgânicos e o Instituto Folio firmaram uma parceria para demonstrar, na prática, que produzir soja, milho, milheto e girassol em sistemas orgânicos é viável — e pode ser mais rentável para o produtor rural. folur.org/news/nueva-aso… #FOLURImpact
