[Geo4All] Invitation to GODAN Webinar @ 2pm -3pm (UK time) 15th March 2017

[Suchith Anand]

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, nearly 800 million people struggle with debilitating hunger and malnutrition and can be found in every corner of the globe. That’s one in every nine people, with the majority being women and children.

The Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) supports the proactive sharing of open data to make information about agriculture and nutrition available, accessible and usable to deal with the urgent challenge of ensuring world food security. A core principle behind GODAN is that a solution to Zero Hunger lies within existing, but often unavailable, agriculture and nutrition data.


At the GODAN Summit [1] in September 2016, GODAN launched a new Working Group on Capacity Development [2]. This first webinar will take place on Wednesday the 15 March 2017 between 3 and 4 pm (CET Time) ; 2pm -3pm (UK time) where we will give an overview of the activities of the WG and explain how you can get involved.

Speakers - André Laperrière (GODAN), Suchith Anand (GODAN) and Isaura Lopes Ramos (CTA)

We welcome all interested in joining the GODAN WG on Capacity Development and contributing to education and training on Open Data in food and agricultural sciences. This is open and free to all interested. Join at https://dgroups.org/fao/godan_cd
