Urban Forestry meets Urban Agriculture:
In an ambitious geospatial project, San Jose State University and local non-profit, Garden to Table, joined forces to connect families in need with excess local produce. The Urban-Forestry-meets-Agriculture project enabled the group to more than double its collection and distribution of fresh produce, feeding the hungry with fruits grown locally in private yards and gardens.
"With (Trimble's) mobile solution, we mapped 1,400 trees and did that in roughly 160 hours," said Zach Lewis, Project Coordinator for Garden-to-Table and a graduate student in SJSU's Urban Planning department. This represented almost 50 percent more trees mapped in half the number of hours, and in only four weeks compared with 18 months.
"The application revolutionizes the way we are able to look at our tree data," said Lewis.
