Open Foris is a set of free and open-source software platforms that helps countries measure, monitor and report on forestry progress, take science-based actions, and accelerate forest pathways:
- measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) for environmental integrity;
- deforestation-free supply chains; and
- restoration monitoring.
Part of FAO's open-source digital public goods, it serves as a transformative accelerator, ensuring innovative, accurate, and transparent forest monitoring accessible to everyone, everywhere, enhancing effectiveness and impact, while meeting the urgent need for systems that enable accurate, yet cost-effective monitoring, reporting and verification of forest and other land cover.

This is a collaborative effort between partners and programmes such as the European Union’s Team Europe Initiative (TEI), the Accelerating Innovative Monitoring for Forests programme (AIM4Forests) and the Forest Data Partnership (FDaP) working with the AgStack Foundation. This joint effort aims to support smallholders by enabling ongoing access to regulated markets through open-source solutions designed to bridge crucial digital gaps.
