Abstract: In the face of intensifying challenges for sustainable food production, well-planned agricultural development is crucial to mitigate climate impacts and manage blue water demands. Tools and methodologies that support public policy for sustainable regional growth are essential, especially in regions lacking hydroclimatic data, which complicates the use of simulation models for efficient water management. An effective tool should identify areas most suitable for rainfed and irrigated agriculture, optimizing planting dates, crop types, and rotations.
