VSU Geographic Information System Services Unit

The VSU GIS Services is an institutional innovation created in early 1990's with funding coming from ViSCA-GTZ Ecology program and the IRRI-ADB Upland Rice Consortium program. In early 2000, realizing the potential of GIS applications in agricultural research and development program of VSU, the Office of the Director for Research and Development created a committee to pool together the existing facilities and equipment on GIS and recommend policies and courses of action to establish a working GIS laboratory. Thus, in December 2000 the VSU GIS laboratory was formally launched.
