<p data-start="562" data-end="819" class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer">The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has officially introduced <strong data-start="654" data-end="666">CropSuit</strong>, an innovative digital platform that helps farmers determine which crops are best suited for specific locations based on local environmental conditions.<span aria-hidden="true" class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchor"></span></p>
<p data-start="821" data-end="1203">The application combines information on soil characteristics, climate patterns, rainfall, temperature and landscape features to provide science-based recommendations for crop selection. By using this data, farmers can make more informed planting decisions, increase productivity and reduce the risks associated with changing weather conditions. <span class="" data-state="closed"></span></p>
<p data-start="1205" data-end="1551">According to FAO, CropSuit is designed to support governments, agricultural extension officers, researchers and farmers in promoting sustainable agriculture. The platform can assist in identifying suitable areas for different crops while helping communities adapt to climate change and improve food security. <span class="" data-state="closed"></span></p>
<p data-start="1553" data-end="1914">The launch comes at a time when many countries are facing increasing challenges from extreme weather, droughts and shifting rainfall patterns. FAO believes that digital technologies such as CropSuit can play a vital role in helping farmers make better decisions, use natural resources more efficiently and improve harvests. <span class="" data-state="closed"></span></p>
<p data-start="1916" data-end="2259" class="">Agricultural experts say the new tool could be particularly valuable for developing countries, where access to reliable farming information is often limited. By making scientific data more accessible, CropSuit has the potential to support sustainable farming practices and strengthen global food security.</p>
