Canada Land Inventory

The Canada Land Inventory (CLI) is a comprehensive assessment of land resources across Canada, initiated in the 1960s. It evaluates land capability for various uses, such as agriculture, forestry, and recreation. The CLI categorizes land based on its suitability and potential productivity, helping to inform land management and policy decisions. By providing detailed data on soil, topography, and climate conditions, the inventory assists governments, planners, and researchers in sustainable land use and conservation, ensuring that land resources are utilized effectively while preserving the environment for future generations.
