    Soil surveys, agricultural and land capability assessments are conducted to make sure that viable agricultural land is not lost to developments in South Africa thus ensuring the sustainability of farming in this country. Soil surveys show what type of soil characteristics are found in a particular area and by combining this with land capability information; one can identify good land to grow crops.

    KwaZulu-Natal Bioresource information is also used for this region to determine good agricultural land in terms of the climate, the underlying geology, the altitude and the land capability. Potential farming land can also be found using soil survey and land capability assessments, as well as what type of crops can be grown in a particular area.
