G4AW reaches 4 million farmers

The Geodata for Agriculture and Water (G4AW) programme is a grant programme implemented by the Netherlands Space Office (NSO) for the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs that focuses on improving food security and water management. With this programme, the NSO promotes the development of satellite- and geodata based services that strengthen food production and the livelihoods of smallholder food producers in developing countries. After eight years, the programme has reached 4 million food producers through 25 projects in Africa and Asia, a milestone that also contributes to several of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
