mitmon/SRS: Suitability Rating System Version 6

The suitability rating system is the 6th iteration of the Agriculture and Agri-Foods land suitability rating system (https://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/publications/manuals/1995-lsrs/index.html). The original system was created in response to the number of concerns regarding the Canada Land Inventory (CLI). Namely, the following has been identified: - Modifications of the CLI by several agencies had resulted in a variety of non-comarable approaches in land capability rating across Canada. - The influence of climate on land suitability for crop production was not adequately taken into account - Organic soils were not included - Lack of specificity in definitions and application guidelines had led to inconsistent ratings among land rating practitioners. The 6th version looks to expand on the previous versions, introducting raster data processing, open source based calculations, front facing client systems, and back-end 'on-the-fly' data processing for user specific requirements.
