[Geo4All] Africa Agriculture, Cartography /Remote Sensing & Optimal Production

[Charlie Martial NGOUNOU]

Hi Daniel

I like what you say here.
Problems you observe in Uganda are similar to what we have in Central
Africa.
We need to leverage Geo tools to cartography everything in our countries,
because it is very difficult to locate anything here.

Thank you !


Best Regards
