A new report has unveiled a detailed land cover map of Tunisia, highlighting key agricultural areas such as cultivated land, olive trees, date palms, and orchards, while also integrating land water management practices. Using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and existing water management data, the map offers regional and national statistics on land cover distribution.

This map is a crucial tool for understanding Tunisia's diverse ecosystems and agricultural landscapes, particularly in addressing the country's climatic and socioeconomic challenges. Accurate agricultural land use representation is essential for developing strategies for natural resource management and sustainable agricultural practices.

The mapping initiative, part of the SolaWISe project, provides vital information on soil, land water, and crop management, supporting decision-making processes aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability. The land cover map equips stakeholders at all levels with the data needed to make informed decisions for sustainable crop production amidst a changing climate.
