05/12/2023 - 06/12/2023

The National Consultative Workshop on the Soil-Land-Water Digital Information System (SoLaWISe) project was conducted in Islamabad by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations on 05 and 06 December 2023. Pakistan serves as a pilot country for the SoLaWISe initiative that seeks to enhance crop yields sustainably while addressing the challenges of climate change and minimizing the impact on soil, land, and water resources. 

The workshop, attended by over twenty participants from Ministries, Universities, and National Institutions, served as a platform to introduce the SoLaWISe initiative. The event included presentations on the methodology and data requirements for generating land suitability maps for five priority crops: maize, rice, wheat, cotton, and sugarcane.
