Description:
Generate an instant report on land characteristics, climate and geographical information to aide land management and conservation planning with free online tool. The Farm Planning Tool is a tool created by the USDA Caribbean Climate Hub that provides an instant summary of spatial characteristics including soil, climate, and hydrology of any land in Puerto Rico. The Farm Planning Tool currently provides historical data. In the future, this tool will include data on climate change projections in order to support mitigation and adaptation decision-making for agricultural producers and land managers. While this tool is only available for Puerto Rico, the same concept can be developed for any land area to help producers and land managers gain easy access to geographic information in support of decision-making. .
