Utilizing satellite imagery, the program aims to exert pressure on avocado growers to adopt more sustainable farming practices. The initiative, supported by American buyers, focuses on monitoring forest health and identifying areas requiring intervention. Researchers and industry representatives are collaborating to develop strategies that mitigate potential risks associated with large-scale avocado cultivation. The program emphasizes responsible land management and biodiversity preservation.
