The Caribbean Climate Hub created the Farm Planning Tool to provide practical information to Agricultural Extension Service, farmers, researchers, private landowners, and whoever may need specific information about the geophysical characteristics of a farm or forest.
This tool is an interactive map which allows to create a quick summary of spatial information on soils, climate, hydrology, and topography for any terrain. Users only need to draw an area of interest and a report will be generated for the selected zone.
In summary, the Farm Planning Tool delivers practical spatial information to farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners to help them adapt to climate change.
