No 276721, Staff Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: This report documents the development and adaptation of agricultural resource planning concepts and procedures for use in developing countries. Major concepts were those applicable to land resource delineation, major land use delineation, and the disaggregation of agricultural production and cropping pattern statistics to land resource delineations. The procedures used in the five developing countries are discussed. A limited discussion is presented on the design and application of two information systems that manage information obtained by inventory and assessment. The goals, purposes, and products of institutionalization activities in each of the five countries are presented.
