The platform has a large and rich set of data on food, agriculture, socioeconomics, and natural resources.

“Geospatial technologies and agricultural data represent an opportunity to find new ways of reducing hunger and poverty through more accessible and integrated data-driven solutions,” said FAO Director-General, QU Dongyu.

This #HandinHand Platform is a great reminder that teamwork makes anything possible! The data has been sourced from FAO & leading public data providers across the @UN & NGOs, academia, private sector & space agencies in an effort to support all stakeholders' initiatives. pic.twitter.com/ku1dj3swsT
