Lao agriculture atlas to help decision-making towards SDGs
A new first of its kind atlas detailing data on changes in agricultural production across the country was launched in Vientiane on Thursday.
The ‘Atlas of Agriculture in the Lao PDR – Patterns and Trends between 1999 and 2011’ is intended to serve in planning, decision-making, policymaking, and implementation of sustainable agriculture and rural development.
The atlas was created jointly by the Centre for Development and Environment (CDE) of the University of Bern and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) in Laos. Funding was provided by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
