Geo for Good 2021 : Forest Data Partnership Roundtable
Recent breakthroughs in satellite remote sensing, cloud computing and deep learning have the potential to drastically improve the geospatial data landscape for sustainably sourcing commodity crops. Join our roundtable with a leading coalition of public and private sector experts dedicated to ending deforestation from commodity supply chains and restoring degraded landscapes.
We will discuss the opportunities at hand to develop systemic monitoring approaches with consistent, agreed-upon methods to validate, compare and clarify data – a critical need to halt commodity-driven deforestation and identify areas of high restoration potential.
