Subnational LU databases

1
Sub-national LU databases

• Crop production by sub-national administrative
  districts
• A Core data set for MA
• Collaboration with external institutions
• FAO-AGLL (Africa - mid 2003)
• IFPRI (South America)
• SAGE (other areas,. - end 2003)
• Demonstration applications
• nutrient balance
• land degradation
• global farming systems
• AEZ

LU Characterisation - crop production

• Soil Management
• Chemical constraints
• -use of fertilizer (mineral/organic and
  application rates, other soil amendements)
• Physical constraints
• -tillage terrain/slope modifications
• Biological constraints
• -incorporation of crop residues -planting of
  cover crops

• Water Management
• Water stress/deficiency
• Excess moisture/water hazard
• Water run-off
• Water treatment/ use management

• Crop Management
• crop production intensity
• Prevalence of pests, disease, weeds
• Agro-climatic suitability

LU databases preparation correlation

• Regional/global LU characterisation
• collect characterise national LU data (by
  objectives operations Agri-LUCS parametric)
• classify data from multiple countries into
  harmonised regional to global LU units based on
  needs of end-user applications
