Queensland Soybean Crops
Working with the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (QDAF), AARSC are mapping the location and extent of all commercial soybean crops (> 1 ha) for the 2021–22 & 2022–23 seasons.
This mapping will be based on proven methodologies currently used to map horticulture tree crops and protected cropping systems across Australia with additional R&D of a time-series model specifically for soybeans crops.
These maps will provide participating industries with essential baseline data that supports decision making at multiple-scales, including current production area and distribution. The maps also serve as essential, innovative tools for response and recovery to biosecurity incursions, including coordination of on-ground surveillance, and for quantifying the impacts following a natural disaster event.
The maps do not contain any personal or commercial information.
This project is supported by the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (QDAF).
