The World Bank Group-sAgriculture and Food Global Practice (GP), is providing technical assistance tothe Government of Brazil and its Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Ministerio da Agricultura e da Pecuaria - MAPA) on the design of adigital platform (AgroBrazil + Sustentável Platform - AB+S). This platform isintended to enhance the transparency, credibility, and trust within theBrazilian agriculture sector by improving the monitoring of sustainability andsocial inclusion criteria required by Brazilian public policies and programs, integrating data from several different databases, including PRODES. The proposed consultancy aims at providing technical assistanceto support the creation of comprehensive land cover change maps, especially focusing on three modules (TerraClass, Traceability, and Eligibility models), utilizing advanced semi-automatic classification methods for all Brazilianbiomes up until 2020.
