Shaking test tubes🧪 and measuring the soil content! Today, under Food and Agriculture Organization Liberia's soil project, we started 10 days training at University of Liberia lab with experts from British Geological Survey. This will help #Liberia to enhance #EvidenceBased decision-making in agriculture and land planning. 🇱🇷

"Carrying out analysis in their own laboratories means that they have control of the data quality during analysis and can provide comparable data in the months and years ahead. This establishes laboratories that can be self-reliant, " said Charles Gowing British Geological Survey.
