Enterprise Versatility Index

An index depicting enterprise crop versatility as Very High, High, Moderate, Moderate-Low, Low or Very Low is portrayed for private free-hold land in Tasmania. A heuristic integration of 24 state-wide enterprise suitability datasets was undertaken to identify specific areas of the State that were suited to more enterprises than other areas. Enterprise crops that participated in this analysis include Barley, Blueberries, Carrot seed, Carrots, Cherries, Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus nitens, Hazelnuts, Industrial Hemp, Linseed, Lucerne, Olives, Onions, Pinus radiata, Poppies, Potatoes, Pyrethrum, Raspberries, Rye grass, Sparkling wine grapes, Strawberries, Table wine grapes and Wheat. The output is represented at a spatial resolution of 30m with each pixel attributed with individual crop suitability ratings. Three versions of the Enterprise Versatility Index dataset are available: current, 2030 and 2050. The 'current' version is based on enterprise crops encompassing recent historical climate observations and part of the original suite of enterprise crop maps.
