Land-Potential Knowledge System (LandPKS)
We are developing and implementing a global, open-source, digital platform that provides people with the tools and knowledge needed to assess their land's potential to be productive, resilient, and healthy. This knowledge and the submitted crowdsourced data on soil, vegetation, and crops are open for all to utilize.
