description
This indicator evaluates the suitability of land for cultivating a variety of crops, based on an analysis of current and future climates, soil, and environmental conditions. It helps identify the most appropriate and productive crops for a specific location, supporting optimal agricultural planning and land management. This is essential for planning and optimizing supply chain stability, ensuring food security, and adapting agricultural practices to the challenges of a changing climate.
methodology
We use the CropSuite model, which evaluates crop-specific agricultural land suitability. It integrates various environmental inputs, such as climate and soil data, while considering multiple limitations like temperature thresholds and water availability.
