agroecological zoning

Agroecological zoning is a scientific process that divides land into different areas based on natural features, climate, soil type, and other environmental factors. This helps determine which crops or farming practices are best suited for each zone, promoting sustainable agriculture while protecting ecosystems. By understanding these zones, farmers and planners can make informed decisions to improve productivity, reduce environmental impact, and adapt to climate conditions effectively. Essentially, it’s about matching land’s natural characteristics with appropriate agricultural use for optimal and environmentally friendly farming.
