A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. GIS is integral to much of the research that AMP has conducted in the past and what we are working on now. Data from Mellinger Farm projects is being captured as vector data in a database that will allow analysis of changes to the Mellinger landscape. Past projects involving GIS include food mapping, mapping of agritourism potential, and supply chain mapping.
Recent Projects:
- 2016 Stinner Summit Story Map Application
- Mellinger Farm
AMP partners with community and regional stakeholders to conduct GIS mapping and analysis for Northeast Ohio and beyond. To see some examples of AMP’s GIS projects, please visit the Northeast Ohio Agricultural Asset Mapping page.
