“The reason we are signing an MOU with the Space Council is so that we can do mapping because…as I was explaining to you earlier, in terms of green, in terms of bio assets, there is now a way to quantify your nice fisheries, your agricultural activity,” he said. The chief executive said potential investors who may be carbon producers need to balance their activity through the use of mapping data for them to develop a particular bio-diverse area in a certain location.
“So that’s why I was asking you that we have to make sure that the data we give [in] each different department is in a form that they can use,” Marcos said.
