Steps for Creating Suitable Site Mapping using the Buffer Tool:
Below are the steps to follow
- Open Map Analysis
- Click on GIS Libraries, Add the Agricultural Land Data
- Crop the Data while adding for a specific area
- Rename the Map from the edit icon on the top of the layers panel
- From Process Data, Click on the Buffer tool
- Select the polygon layer
- Enable the Dissolve Buffer Switch
- Give the radius of 1000m
- Hit Submit
Color this buffer RED, because this area is unsuitable for Organic farming because of the pesticides and other harmful chemicals that drain through the soil at these distances from the conventional farmlands.
- Repeat the buffer for 2000m and now color this GREEN, this area is ideal for starting organic farming because the soil will be of high quality.
A simple and interactive map will be created with two buffer zones showing the suitable and not suitable areas for starting an organic farm.
Through these buffers, the decision makers can make decisions as to where to establish the farming.
