Land Capability Classes
Land Capability Classes categorize land based on its suitability for various uses, particularly agriculture. These classes assess factors like soil type, moisture, slope, and climate, helping landowners and planners understand what activities are most appropriate for a given area. The system typically ranges from Class I, which is highly suitable for cultivation, to Class VII, which has severe limitations for productive use. This classification informs decisions about land management, conservation, and sustainable development, ensuring that land is used effectively while preserving its quality for future generations.
