Importance of agro-eco zonation:

  • It provides basis for understanding the agricultural needs, possibilities and limitation in better ways. By understanding the natural factors, maintenance and promotion of agriculture become easy and efficient.
  • A spatial land use and land cover components covering forest, protected areas, irrigated areas, population distribution and density land required for habitation, infrastructure, estimates of cropland , grazing land, and sparsely vegetated or barren land and farming system can be easy.
  • It helps in making standardization framework for characterization of soil, terrains and climatic conditions relevant to the agricultural production and identification of areas with special climate, soil, and terrain constraints to rain-fed crop production.
  • For management of agricultural activities.
  • For high rate of success of agricultural crops.
  • For calculating potential yield in that zone.
  • Estimating land population supporting capacity and for multiple criteria and optimization of resources like land.
  • Helps in inventory of land utilization types.
