Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This study examines the relevance of cartography, remote sensing and GIS on accurate evaluation and management of agricultural land resources globally. Its noted that in advance countries of Europe and North America which had a long history of surveying and mapping of agricultural land resources, farmers now have access to abundant data and offer relevant facilities that assists them in decision-making not only about sites and sizes of farm activities but also about the actual agricultural enterprises in which to invest from time to time. By contrast, the countries in the third world including Nigeria have not been able to apply such advanced cartographic materials to facilitate their agricultural activities for several reasons. First, there is need to survey agricultural lands comprehensively in every developing country. Also each country needs to have comprehensive and detailed soil maps. Thirdly,’world countries should place emphasis on acquisition and utilization of these various cartographic devices and facilities to facilitate the evaluation and management of the various agricultural land resources in each developing country. Certainly the availability of basic data on soils and other land resources is fundamental to the promotion of variable agricultural development in every developing country.
