Modeling and mapping Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) sequestration potential (GSOCseq)
Agenda | Presentations | Photogallery
The AFACI GSOCseq Workshop took place from January 17 to 21, 10:00 (AM) – 13:00 (PM) (CET).
Project: Preparation of the Soil Atlas of Asia through the update of national soil maps and National Soil Information Systems for AFACI Countries
Relevant Project Output: Production of national soil profile databases and property maps (Output 2)
Activity: Production/update of gridded maps of soil properties and threats (Activity 2.6)
The objective of the training on Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration Modeling & Mapping is to support countries in:
- To support AFACI countries to produce their soil organic carbon sequestration potential maps following the GSOCseq Guidelines
- coordinating action and foster international co-operation by providing a data-driven knowledge base;
- identifying and mapping areas with high sequestration potential to leverage Soil Sustainable Management (SSM) (Voluntary Guidelines on Sustainable Soil Management; (VGSSM; pdf)
- providing a framework to exchange knowledge in a harmonized and effective way
- support the provision of incentives to farmers implementing SOC-cantered SSM practices under GSP’s RECSOIL facility (Leaflet; pdf)
