Dear Liesl,
I recently completed a 'livelihood zoning’ exercise for the DAFF and I used land cover, farms boundaries and EAs to derive some ‘density’ layers (e.g. % of farm land area cultivated), etc. I must admit I used old data sets: old land cover, old farms (2005). I did the analysis with SQL after loading everything up into PostGIS.
I am travelling a lot in Limpopo right now but I will have a look at what I have got this evening.
All the best,
Charles Rethman
