Dashboard for Hot-spots and Land Suitability in MENA region

The Dashboard for Hot-spots and Land Suitability in the MENA Region is an innovative Web-GIS application designed to map and analyze natural resources, land suitability, and agricultural hotspots in the MENA region and Uzbekistan. The platform enables users to interactively explore soil characteristics, yield gaps, and land suitability for major crops through dynamic visualizations and contextual data displays. Built on a robust architecture using GeoServer and Leaflet, it supports interactive map functions and secure data management. The dashboard assesses soil properties such as organic carbon and salinity while employing a two-step land suitability classification methodology. Additionally, it conducts yield gap analysis using NDVI to estimate crop yields and identify discrepancies with potential yields. This tool is part of CGIAR’s broader efforts to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability, significantly supported by various funders through the CGIAR Trust Fund.
