Rangeland evaluation

Livestock Farming systems in the SADC region are mostly relying on Natural Resources and Rangelands in particular.

The status of pastures is a key issue for sustaining ruminants in the vast dry areas of Southern Africa

There are several remote sensing datasets available at SADC that can be used for rangeland evaluation.

This include e.g. the NOAA AVHRR vegetation index product for the period 1982-2009.
