Our farm mapping and land use planning is a comprehensive service designed to assist farmers and landowners in efficiently managing their agricultural land. This involves the creation of detailed maps of the farm, which include the precise location of fields, pastures, water sources, buildings, and infrastructure. Additionally, an assessment of soil quality, topography, and environmental factors is conducted to develop a comprehensive understanding of the land. Over the last years, we have mapped more than 650 000 hectares of land in Zimbabwe, 25,000 hectares in Zambia, 4000 hectares in Botswana, and an equal amount in Mozambique and Tanzania.
To further enhance the understanding of the land, we also include a low-cost terrain survey for engineering-grade topographical mapping for civil works and planning. This involves the collection of surface and subsurface data, as well as aerial imagery and orthomosaic generation. The deliverables of this component include high-resolution aerial images with sub-centimetre resolution, digital terrain models, and cartographic standard feature maps of all features in the area either using survey-grade drones or high resolution satellite images.
The ultimate goal of farm mapping and land use planning is to help farmers make informed decisions about agricultural practices, resource allocation, and environmental conservation. By providing a visual representation of the farm and essential data for engineering and agricultural investment purposes, this service aims to maximize the productivity and sustainability of agricultural land. It also facilitates effective planning and communication with stakeholders, ultimately contributing to the overall success of agricultural operations.
Land use management planning is the most essential part of agribusiness investment for individuals, companies or any organization seeking to invest in agribusiness with confidence.

Land use planning has the power to dictate investment priorities having looked at the lengthy factors which are likely to affect your land use.
With the systems from our Geographic Information Systems (GIS) & Remote Sensing (RS) as well as Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), farmers and agribusiness investors can now have a magnified vision of how operations at the farm are going, providing early warning systems for disasters and risk management and up to date information about the farm.
The importance of agribusiness land use planning cannot be overemphasized. Agribusiness plays an integral role in driving economic growth in numerous sectors, and cultivating fertile land is essential for producing a reliable food supply.
