Development options for a Soil Information Workflow and System
Access to data can facilitate better informed decision making. A soil information system (SIS) is used to efficiently use, produce, organize, analyse, and serve soil data and information in a country, region or at any other scale. The report ‘Development options for a Soil Information Workflow and System’ offers an aid for designing a SIS for soil data practitioners (users and producers). It provides an overview of the options, choices, results, and boundary conditions, and provides links to more detailed resources to execute the design and implementation from field data collection to serving organised and analysed fit-for-purpose soil information products. The report is created as part of the SIStech project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and led by CAB International. The project aims to perform a review of SISs, identifying what intervention approaches have worked well, which have not, which solutions work best and where to take innovation to scale. This information can help direct improved SIS intervention design and strengthen impact.
