Abstract | Agriculture serves among others as a cornerstone for development in South Africa. It contributes significantly to the provincial and national economy. Agricultural development need to be coordinated and implemented effectively in order to achieve the objectives of sustainable production and efficient regional development. It is therefore always important to ensure that any form of development tally with environmental sustainability for a sustained economic output. This study assesses site specific characteristics in selected areas of the Province, to determine their relevant agricultural development opportunities. Particular emphasis is given to priority agricultural development areas identified in the Limpopo Department of Agriculture's (LDA) Agricultural Development Strategy. Remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) provides an opportunity for integrated assessment of resource development potential within a given time and scale. This entails assessing the suitability in terms of land/soil and climatic variations, which are determinant factors for specific agricultural production. Results show that identified areas exhibit varying potential for different agricultural commodities, dependent upon different soils and the local climates. Geo-informatics technology contributes positively towards directing specific agricultural development within the limits of the environment's carrying capacity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
