From November 21-23, the Land Soil Crop Hubs project carried out training on digital soil mapping in Musanze, Rwanda. Thirteen people attended the training delivered by project team members from ISRIC – World Soil Information delivered the training to Rwandan professionals with most coming from LSC Hubs project partner Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB). The primary focus of the training was the joint development of a new set of high-resolution digital soil maps of Rwanda. This was the fourth training provided by ISRIC – World Soil Information in Rwanda.
Thirteen people attended the training, coming from RAB, the Rwanda Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources, the Rwanda Space Agency and the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The training took place at the RAB station in Musanze. Participants dug deeper into the digital soil mapping workflow and practiced the process that will help them develop and update their digital soil maps using the statistical software R. Later they used the procedures learned to produce new gridded soil maps for Rwanda. In addition, trainers did an overview of Google’s Earth Engine Data Catalogue and demonstrated how imagery contained in that catalog can be obtained to support digital soil mapping
