Maps of soil and land health across six states in Sudan (North Kordufan, South Kordufan, Gezira, White Nile, Sennar, Blue Nile)
We work towards the application of GeoScience in real decision contexts, such as climate change adaptation, hydrological effects of changes in climate and land cover, targeting of agroforestry interventions, provision of soil fertility and surveillance advisory services for smallholder farmers, digital soil and land use/cover mapping, and measuring impacts of interventions, all using open source software.
