This study aimed to use a GIS-based approach in producing soil fertility maps and utilize the spatial data on achieving site-specific management of major nutrients Morogoro, Tanzania. Soil samples were collected six mapping units analyzed for chemical properties such as pH, cation exchange capacity electrical conductivity. ArcGIS 10.8 was used produce nutrient variability organic carbon, available P, total nitrogen exchangeable K, Ca Mg using Inverse Distance Weight (IDW) interpolation method. The pH values ranged from 5.5 7.2. OC varied between 1.2 4.9 g kg−1, TN low medium (1.0 5.0 kg−1) whereas Av. P l3.3 14.3 mg kg−1. Exchangeable had ranges (in cmol 0.1 0.8 (low medium), 3.8 15.6 high) 0.3 0.5 (low), recommended amounts 74, 44, 36, 35 12 kg ha−1 N, P2O5, K2O, MgO CaO, respectively. Conducting analysis is key monitoring amount that are at time space, achieve management.

Land valuation is essential for developing land use planning and achieving efficient use, food security, poverty reduction. This study aimed to assess suitability cassava bean production using the multicriteria decision analysis AHP technique GIS. considers factors affecting crop growth development, particularly in producing beans cassava. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model was used determine importance of main sub-criteria parameters. ArcGIS software create distribution maps production. Each parameter subjected pair-wise comparison by employing (AHP). found that southern region displayed a vastly suitable level 38% 46% cassava, respectively. Farmers can comprehensive data decide whether plant on their lands, increasing revenue while preserving soil quality management. GIS-AHP integration approach suggested optimal decisions based chosen criteria.

This chapter discusses the ecological benefits of agroforestry systems (AFS), a sustainable land-use system integrating trees and shrubs with crops livestock. AFS offers multifaceted solution to biodiversity loss, climate change, environmental degradation. Further, this section interprets how promotes by enhancing genetic, species, ecosystem diversity compares its impact monoculture systems. By improving habitat complexity supporting diverse contribute balance, food security, resilience. also highlights successful practices from different regions outlines socio-economic policy challenges broader implementation, providing insights into future research land management strategies.

Agroforestry, which integrates agricultural and forestry practices, is gaining recognition for its ability to promote sustainability improve soil health in farming environments. This chapter examines the types of agroforestry, their impacts on nutrients, underlying mechanisms employed promoting fertility health, ecoservices. By integrating trees into agroforestry not only promotes biodiversity resilience but also mitigates erosion, improves fertility, enhances carbon sequestration. Through a synthesis current research, this elucidates how can be adapted diverse climatic contexts, offering scalable solutions sustainable land use.
