Description
A geospatial dataset assessing land suitability for the technified cultivation of Junca Onion (Allium Fistolosum) in the Lake Tota basin, Boyacá, Colombia. The data was produced by the Unidad de Planificación Rural Agropecuaria (UPRA) in coordination with local municipalities and CORPOBOYACA as part of the CONPES 380144 strategy. It classifies land into aptitude levels (High, Medium, Low, Not Suitable, Legal Exclusion) based on physical, socio-ecosystem, and socio-economic determinants at a 1:25,000 scale.
Use Cases
Map land aptitude for Junca Onion cultivation using the Aptitud, Área (ha), and the_geom columns.
Analyze the distribution of suitable land by municipality using Municipio, Código municipio, and Área (ha) columns.
Perform regional agricultural planning by joining departmental and municipal data using Código departamento and Departamento columns.
Calculate total area by suitability class for the basin using the Gridcode, Aptitud, and Área (ha) columns.
Strengths
Includes a geospatial geometry column (the_geom) for mapping and spatial analysis.
Provides area in hectares (Área (ha)) for quantitative land assessment.
Classifies land into five distinct aptitude levels (Aptitud) based on a defined methodology.
Data is associated with a specific national development strategy (CONPES 380144).
Limitations
Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale processing.
Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require manual inspection after download.
