Training on PyAEZ v 2.0.0 – An advanced training to prepare Agro-ecological Zoning using Python
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), and in collaboration with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) is organizing a virtual training on the updated version of the PyAEZ Python package (PyAEZ v2.0.0) from 29 November to 02 December.
PyAEZ is a Python package equipped with computational routines related to the Agro-ecological Zoning (AEZ) framework. The package encapsulates the complex calculations in AEZ and tries to provide a user-friendly and intuitive way to input data and generate national AEZ information. PyAEZ provides a transparent set of procedures for land resources appraisal adhering to the established FAO Land Evaluation Framework.
The objective of this 4-day training is to introduce the updated version of PyAEZ tool (PyAEZ v2.0.0) to professionals with the purpose of supporting policy and planning exercises related to land-use planning and management. In this training, an overview of AEZ methodology for crop suitability assessment, including theoretical aspects as well as previous case studies, and ongoing PyAEZ routines development will be covered.
