Anthropogenic land degradation threatens the livelihoods of rural populations in developing economies, a problem aggravated by increasingly frequent weather shocks. Large economic investments launched by development agencies, such as Ethiopia's 10-year Sustainable Land Management Project (SLMP), have been put in place in an attempt to overturn its associated land productivity losses.
Even so, operational issues and high costs of gathering on-ground data have limited a rigorous impact assessment of these large-scale programmes.
Find out more about how remote sensing products can be successfully incorporated into impact evaluation models, opening new possibilities for the assessment of ecosystem restoration programmes.
