class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liberia\u2019s efforts to strengthen agricultural planning, improve soil management, and build a more sustainable food system are receiving renewed attention as IITA, with support from the European Union (EU), leads national and international partners in a five-day Annual Planning, Coordination and Stakeholder Engagement Workshop under the Liberia Land and Soil Resources Knowledge Project (Soils4Liberia).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workshop, held from 26 to 30 October 2026 at the Bella Casa Hotel Conference Hall in Monrovia, brought together government institutions, research organizations, soil information specialists, and development partners to review project implementation, strengthen collaboration, and advance the development of Liberia\u2019s national soil information infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than a coordination meeting, the workshop focused on addressing a longstanding challenge in Liberia\u2019s agricultural sector: the need for reliable, accessible, and nationally managed soil and land resource information to guide decisions about agricultural investment, crop suitability, soil fertility, and sustainable land use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.iita.org\/advancing-national-soil-information-system-in-liberia\/\">Read more:
