LSMS Supports FAO-Led AGRISurvey pilot

Fieldwork has commenced in Ecuador for the FAO-led pilot on the AGRISurvey Economy module. The pilot study, which is conducted under the Global Rural and Agricultural Integrated Surveys (GRAInS) Partnership between FAO and the World Bank, features a test of the World Bank’s Survey Solutions satellite imagery-based land area measurement function. Sydney Gourlay provided technical assistance on the ground, working with INEC (the Ecuadorian NSO) to train teams and support the implementation of the satellite imagery-based land area measurement function.
