Field Area Ratio - UGANDA back-->
The agricultural codes were re-classified based on the field size attributes. An ADG legend was created separating polygons characterized by the agricultural classifier B1 (Large-Medium sized fields) from B2 (Small sized fields). The classifier were selected in the LCCS Group 1 (Cultivated Terrestrial Areas) and Group 3 (Cultivated aquatic or Regularly Flooded areas)

For each cell, Large-medium (LM) and Small (S) classified polygons were summarized and used to extract the ratio. Only single and mixed units (see section in the LCCS manual for more) were included. Area factors were adopted to differentiate the area calculation in single and mixed units:

The land cover database of Uganda was analysed at:
  1. National level: run on a 1 km cell size.

  2. Sub-National level: 0.5 km cell size. For each country, the first Administrative level was used.

  3. Sub-national data can be displayed by clicking on the map or selecting the links below (maps and ESRI shape files).
