The GeoMatopiba is a free, public-access platform for data management and data analysis operations on the Matopiba region. Its structure includes two environments: Geoweb Matopiba and Interactive Panels. Geoweb Matopiba presents the cartographic database used for the outline and characterization of the region in accordance with the five frames of a Strategic Territorial Intelligence System (SITE): natural, agrarian, agricultural, and socioeconomic, and infrastructure dimensions. The Interactive Panels provide updated data at the municipal level on all agricultural production in the region, agricultural credit, formal jobs in the agricultural sector as well as agricultural technologies, developed by Embrapa and available for adoption in the region. These data are presented in an interactive way, reorganized based on each consultation performed by the user.
