Abstract
This study applies Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS)-based Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to assess land suitability for yam cultivation in Irepo Local Government Area (LGA) of Oyo State, Nigeria. By integrating soil, climatic, and environmental parameters such as texture, moisture, pH, nutrients (N, P, K), cation exchange capacity (CEC), slope, elevation, land use/land cover (LULC), and climatic conditions (rainfall, temperature, and relative humidity), suitability zones were classified using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Weighted Overlay techniques. The results revealed that 54.72% of the area was highly suitable, 45.27% moderately suitable, and only 0.006% classified as low suitable for yam production. These findings support targeted agricultural planning and sustainable land use strategies. The study concludes that the GIS-AHP model is an effective tool for optimizing yam production and recommends its adoption for improved agricultural land-use decision-making....
