Digital Soil Mapping

Digital Soil Mapping is a technology that uses computers and geographic information systems (GIS) to create detailed, accurate maps of soil types and conditions. By analyzing multiple data sources—such as satellite images, soil samples, and environmental data—it predicts soil properties across large areas. This helps farmers, land planners, and environmentalists understand soil quality, manage land sustainably, and make informed decisions. Essentially, it combines science and technology to produce precise soil maps automatically, saving time and improving land use planning.
