Importance of the alliance of the geographic information system and soil in the planning of sustainable agriculture

Abstract

Current projections suggest that by 2025 there will be 3,000,000,000 more people to feed and clothe, which means that the demand for agricultural goods, especially food and fiber, will continue to increase every day. For this reason, globally all countries are making a great effort to make agricultural sectors sustainable; However, despite all these efforts, the possibility of sustainable development is increasingly further away if the processes of environmental deterioration are not contained and reversed; mainly, deforestation, forest fires, soil degradation, overexploitation, water pollution and loss of biodiversity (Moreno, 2011).
