I'd like to start a thread on GIS and try to uncover technology that can be applied
to farms and land on which permaculture systems have been built.
Is it affordable for the non-corporate world?
Is there equipment and software available that a properly informed farmer or permaculturist can
use to log, with GIS coordinates plus calculated space within identified areas (with GIS device, walk off
the perimeter of an area such as a garden or a bed within a garden, calcuate the area within and give it an ID
corresponding to its GIS coordinates)? This data could be entered into a database as a record with an array of
appropriate fields.
It seems this technology could have unlimited uses. It would be a complex system or reduced to a fairly simple one.
Questions:
What equipment is available?
What software is available?
What can be done in house without hiring an outside specialist?
Can GIS data be exported to a laptop?
