Field mission for data validation after remote sensing analysis

CartONG continues its development work for Rongead to help the cashew nut industry in the Ivory Coast.

After a volunteer, Remi Corfini, worked from afar on the remote sensing analysis (to draft a classification on the location of the cashew nut trees), a ten day mission was organised in the field, in Korhogo, in the north of Ivory Coast, to collect data on the areas that were uncertain (with the help of Rongead's local partner the local ChigataNGO) and thus verify and render more precise the classification. Once this data integrated in the analysis, it will hopefully be reusable in other zones of Ivory Coast.

The loan of two high-precision GPS systems by D3E Electronique greatly helped the mission.
