Land Capability Index

The Land Capability Index is a tool used to assess how suitable a piece of land is for various types of use, such as agriculture, building, or conservation. It considers factors like soil quality, slope, drainage, and climate to give a score indicating how well the land can support these activities without significant damage or risk. A higher index suggests the land is more suitable, while a lower one indicates limitations that need special management or restrictions. This helps land planners and farmers make informed decisions to use resources efficiently and sustainably.
