The meeting aims to showcase the practical benefits of using the GAEZ dataset and vegetation indices for preparing spatially aggregated crop yield and yield gap data at national and sub-national levels. This involves leveraging remote sensing technologies to collect spatially disaggregated data for comprehensive assessments of land cover, crop health, and environmental conditions. Integration of such data enables stakeholders to optimize resource allocation and promote sustainable agricultural development, as demonstrated by successful implementations in countries like Libya, Myanmar, and Sudan.
