This video tutorial introduces the FAO’s Land Characterization System (LCHS) software, an ISO-compliant tool for creating and managing land cover legends using Land Cover Meta Language (LCML). It demonstrates preparing LCML-based legends through two detailed examples: creating a class for broad-leaved deciduous natural trees and adding a class for apple orchards via the legend wizard.

Both examples cover setting properties, validating classes, and exporting completed legends in various file formats. Subscribe to FAO's YouTube channel for more content.
