Webinar on land cover and crop-type mapping for Libya

07/06/2022 - 07/06/2022

FAO Geospatial Unit organises a webinar on land cover and crop-type mapping in Libya on 7 June 2022. The webinar is dedicated to national experts from various organisations including universities, the Libyan Center for Remote Sensing and Space Science, and the Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Water Resources. Geospatial tools and workflows for land monitoring, and land cover legend preparation will be presented and illustrated. This webinar will contribute strengthening national technical capacities for the development of an updated national land cover dataset, focusing on crop-types to support the implementation of two parallel projects:  “Evaluation of irrigation, infrastructure crop mapping and estimation of agricultural water use-ICAWU” (OSRO/LIB/100/AFB) and the “Monitoring, evaluation and rationalization of water use for Agriculture Sector in Libya” (OSRO/LIB/002/ITA). Both projects aim at improving crop and water productivity and use of land and water resources.
