Opened a 3-day West Africa workshop on #CropWatch—using EO satellites to drive food security. With @ANSO_org & Chinese Academy of Sciences, we’re establishing the region’s first CropWatch Centre at National Space Research and Development Agency. Space data 👉 smarter farming 👉 Zero Hunger. 🛰️🌾 #NASRDA #SDG2
