Descripción
This report presents a comprehensive land cover map of Maputo and Gaza provinces within Mozambique in 2022, highlighting cultivated land, banana, meadow and orchards. The land cover map was derived using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, digital terrain model, a 2016 Mozambique land cover map and photo interpreted reference points. The area of each land cover class was generated to provide accurate information on land cover classes distribution to develop insights into natural resource management and agricultural practices. It supports assessing the status of natural resources and supports sustainable and resilient agricultural management with crop production. Land cover mapping within the SolaWISe initiative facilitates access to essential information on soil, land water and crop management, thus informing decision-making processes for enhancing agricultural productivity.
