Abstract:
Taking part to the World Bank Data4SoilHealth Challenge 2025 for Kenya, GIZ has shared data from the ProSoil Project providing insights on several soil parameters for the region.
The ProSoil Cluster3 dataset provides comprehensive spatial data collected through soil sampling and laboratory analysis, offering critical insights into soil fertility and degradation patterns in Kenya. Generated by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the dataset underpins efforts to promote sustainable agricultural practices and improve land management. It captures key soil health indicators, enabling targeted interventions to restore soil fertility and mitigate erosion. As part of the broader ProSoil project, the dataset contributes to addressing the global crisis of soil degradation, which poses significant risks to food security and climate resilience. For more information, visit the ProSoil project page.
To enhance usability, ProSoil datasets are divided into clusters, reflecting variations in laboratory analyses and parameters.
