Description
Description
The Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZ) framework, developed by the FAO and IIASA, assesses natural resources to determine suitable agricultural land use options. Using plant eco-physiological characteristics, climate, and soil data, AEZ evaluates crop suitability and production potential under specific conditions. This framework aids in making sustainable, resilient, and productive agricultural decisions, supporting United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing insights into agricultural production, irrigation needs, and crop adaptation options.
