The objective of this project is to structure a Strategic Territorial Intelligence System (SITE, Sistema de Inteligência Territorial Estratégica in Portuguese) to support the sustainable development of agriculture within the Brazilian Caatinga biome. A SITE’s design, construction and operation is based on a broad and strict methodological procedure for organizing georeferenced and analytical information of five dimensions: natural, agrarian, agricultural, infrastructural and socioeconomic framework. The System’s territorial reach encompasses all 120 homogeneous microregions defined by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) within the Caatinga biome. These five dimensions integrated in a single environment enable performing territorial intelligence analyses, such as characterizing, understanding and measuring processes and phenomena both typical to and related to agriculture. The main information and results produced in this project will be integrated into a digital platform which is based on a geocoded data management system that may be accessed by the general public and features spatial visualization tools.
