Descripción
Land cover data is fundamental to food security. Land cover information is required to monitor food security indicators, and provide information on access to water, cropping intensities and many others. Land cover for eastern Terai is obtained in the context of GEF–8 projects from the national land cover of Nepal (2019), and the legend is also available in Land Cover Legend Registry (LCLR) of FAO, which describes land cover classes. The main aim of the GEF–8 project is to transform rice fields to improve the region’s food security.
