How AI describes Open Foris

Open Foris is a free and open-source initiative by the FAO that provides tools to monitor forests and land, making monitoring accessible, transparent, and collaborative. It offers a complete portfolio covering the entire monitoring workflow—from field data collection and visual interpretation to data management and geospatial analysis (e.g., Collect Earth, Collect Earth Online, Arena, Earth Map, SEPAL, Whisp, FERM). The project positions itself as a digital public good to support climate action, sustainable resource management, and international reporting by reducing vendor dependence and enabling widespread use.
