Since 2021, the project has been active in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda, developing LSC Hubs to consolidate and connect existing datasets and information sources. The hubs offer open-access tools and data to support evidence-based agricultural decision-making.

Today, we celebrated the successful completion of our five-year journey with a closing event in Addis Ababa. Co-funded by the @EU_Commission DeSIRA programme, @DutchMFA Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ISRIC.

🎉 LSC-IS was pleased to join the launch of the African Union Soil Observatory (AUSO) yesterday in Nairobi! AUSO is being developed under @FARAinfo leadership, with support from EU Horizon Programme and in collaboration with African and European partners: auso.faraafrica.org

🎙️Introducing the speakers for tomorrow's #ACS2 side event, "Farming the future: Land, soil & crop hubs for climate-smart agriculture and rural transformation." ⤵️

This week we are at the @ACS2ET in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia! 🇪🇹 Join our #ACS2 side event "Farming the future: Land, soil & crop hubs for climate-smart agriculture and rural transformation" on 10 September from 09:30 to 11:00 in Room AP4. We look forward to seeing you there!

📷After a productive workshop in Ethiopia last week, we are in Kigali for the National Workshop on Advancing Climate-Smart Agriculture through Rwanda’s LSC-Hub. Stakeholders will review progress and co-develop a roadmap to embed the Hub in Rwanda’s national agriculture systems 🇷🇼

🇪🇹 The National Workshop on Advancing Climate-Smart Agriculture through Ethiopia’s LSC-Hub began today in Addis Ababa! Stakeholders from @MoA_Ethiopia, @InstituteEiar, @ILRI, ISRIC, WUR, @ASARECA and @IUCN will plan LSC-Hub institutionalisation, scaling and sustainability🌱

In early April, high-level consultative meetings in Taita-Taveta and Busia Counties, Kenya, highlighted key milestones in the local rollout of LSC-hub services. Insights gathered will shape scaling and sustainability of the LSC-hub at local level. @kalromkulima @ASARECA @ILRI

On 5-6 March, LSC-IS participated in the "Kenya Soil Information System Roadmap Development Workshop" hosted by @kilimoKE @kalromkulima @ISRICorg & @CABI_News in Nairobi. The team was represented by KALRO @ILRI @CIFOR_ICRAF & ISRIC members. Read more: isric.org/news/strengthening…

As part of the LSC-IS project, @ISRICorg collaborated with national agricultural research organisations (@RwandaAgriBoard, @KALRO, @InstituteEiar) to deliver Advanced Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) training in Rwanda, Kenya, and Ethiopia. Read more: lsc-hubs.org/2025/02/18/trai…
