Policy brief: Guiding the development of a Land, Soil, Crop Hub A practical framework and checklist

Date: December 1, 2025

The report provides a practical framework for designing and implementing a Land, Soil, Crop (LSC) Hub that supports agricultural decision-making. An LSC Hub is envisioned as a platform that integrates soil, land, crop, climate, and agricultural information in one accessible location. The framework emphasizes a user-centered approach, ensuring that hub functions are driven by stakeholder needs rather than technology alone. Stakeholder engagement is treated as a core requirement throughout planning, development, and long-term operation. The checklist helps organizations assess governance structures, institutional ownership, and responsibilities before implementation.
