Daniel


This is so cool.  I am going to discuss your project in my World Regional Geography class.  Do you have any images, videos, etc.?


Thanks again

Tom

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

Dear Forum

Recently, I was in the northern central part of Uganda where cattle
keepers have farms in the region of 300 -600 acres. It took me three
hours to locate where the cows had grazed that day.

Then I thought to myself, maybe if each cattle had a GPS/GSM tag, I
would locate the cows in a few minutes instead of walking in an
endless bush. Even then do these people need such huge land for cattle
keeping if they had good aerial data on vegetation, water etc.,?

Uganda key socioeconomic activity is still agriculture and it will
remain the same for some time to come. Uganda if you look closely at
the map is endowed with huge water resources.

For the above reason, this country will need huge cartographical data
on soil profiles, vegetation, crops, water sources, animal husbandry
etc.

That is how technology is converging on Africa in a massive way.

Can we work together on this – get in touch.

Best
