In an era of unprecedented access to data and advanced analysis, accurate geographic information is transforming the efficiency and sustainability of many industries - not least those of agriculture and forestry.


The potential of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) was acknowledged as far back as 2012 by the UN's "The Future We Want", recognising "the relevance of global mapping and the efforts in developing global environmental observing systems".

Now in this rapidly developing scene, we take a look at the state of play, and the current challenges and opportunities.

Ahead of the upcoming implementation of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), this event brings together experts from policy, academia, technology and industry to discuss innovative strategies and practical solutions for adapting to these changes.


In doing so, cross-industry experts will discuss:

  • How is spatial mapping being used to monitor and protect forests?
  • How can geo-observation increase efficiencies and sustainability in agriculture?
  • What is the role of centralised data storage and management platforms?
  • How can GIS enhance transparency and traceability across various industries?


Gain valuable insights, connect with thought leaders, and explore how to drive sustainability and resilience in agroforestry practices while meeting new regulatory requirements.
