Hand-in-Hand is an evidence-based, country-led and country-owned initiative of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to accelerate agricultural transformation and sustainable rural development to eradicate poverty and end hunger and all forms of malnutrition. FAO will offer its multidimensional Geospatial Platform data.apps.fao.org to host countries and the existing international partners to identify critical areas of policy intervention and public investment to unlock the potential for ending poverty and hunger.

Earth Map has been developed in the framework of the FAO-Google partnership, in synergy with the FAO Hand-in-Hand Geospatial Platform and thanks to the support of the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). Earth Map is an innovative and free web-based FAO-Google tool for quick historical analysis of environmental and climate parameters for evidence-based policies integrating cloud technologies and freely available datasets.

Google Earth Engine is a planetary-scale platform for Earth science data & analysis, combining a multi-petabyte catalogue of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets with planetary-scale analysis capabilities and making it freely available to detect changes, map trends, and quantify differences on the Earth's surface. Virtual meeting will be held on 16 Sep 2020 at 16:30 hrs Rome time
