Weapons in fight for land and poverty in India:
Cutting age technologies- from drones to data collected by taxi drivers- are becoming key weapons in the global battle to improve land rights and fight poverty.
Advances in earth observation, digital connectivity and  computing power provide an array of information, from detailed topographical maps to transportation use.
The information collected can be instrumental in helping establish property records and land titling systems in countries where there is no formal ownership or land-use documentation.
Survey-mapping drones may look like toys but are powerful machines having a huge impact on land-use planning India.
High quality, high-resolution images taken by drones in Zanzibar identified nearly 2,000 new building in one 12-month period alone.
GPS data collected by taxi drivers is helping to design plans for infrastructure and road in countries like Brazil and in North Africa. The shared data comes through agreements with technology  companies such as Grab that operates ride-hailing and logistics services apps in Southeast Asia.
