Land Suitability refers to the ability of a portion of land to tolerate the production of crops in a sustainable way. Such kind of analysis allows identifying the main limiting factors for the agricultural production and enables decision makers to develop crop managements able to increase the land productivity.

Also to help identify the management requirements that will ensure that a particular …
