Abstract
YouthMappers are using open geospatial tools in support of initiatives seeking to achieve SGD 2 Zero Hunger and SDG 1 No Poverty in Northern Ghana. Students and researchers designed survey questions and a field data collection workflow using simple but cost- effective technology to catalogue a database of farmers, properly demarcate farm sizes, and give farmers, in particular impover- ished women, the opportunity to project farm yields and increase the efficiency of their output.
