1. Developed by the Institute for the Application of Geospatial Technology in collaboration with the Rochester Institute of Technology U.S. Department of Labor’s High Growth Job Training Initiative Program Site Suitability Analysis Food and Beverage Manufacturing and Processing Industry Finger Lakes Region of New York State

2.  Use of GIT in the supply chain  Site Suitability  The New York Vineyard Site Evaluation System  Geospatial data  Vector  Raster Topics Covered

3. Use of GIT in the Supply Chain  Geospatial information is helping to increase supply chain efficiency and food safety  GIS for site analysis is an emerging technique for locating new places to grow crops or do business  Production siting example for grape cultivation in the Finger Lakes Region Farmers Customers Retailers Distributors Processors 1 4 3 5 2

4. Terroir Noun terroir (plural terroirs) the complete set of local conditions in which a particular wine or family of wines is produced, including soil-type, weather conditions, topography and wine-making savoir-faire  GIS is an excellent tool for identifying areas of favorable climatic, topographic and geologic features and  GIS may be used to review and improve existing vineyards, or to identify prime locations for new ones

5. Site Suitability for Wine Grape Production  Grape varieties require different growing conditions to thrive:  Climate – temperature ranges  Soils – acidity, drainage, texture  Topography – ground slope, aspect  Site Suitability Analysis:  The process of assessing compatibility between land areas and desired conditions.

6. Site Suitability Analysis  Site suitability analysis is a process of comparing data to criteria to find favorable locations for a place of business  Traditional approaches to site suitability are not always efficient  Geospatial technology helps to narrow down a search area to a manageable number of locations to visit in person  Analysis can be expanded to include socioeconomic conditions  Taxes  Customer base  Transportation networks Most Suitable Areas

7. The New York Vineyard Site Evaluation System

8. Vineyard Site Evaluation System – Base Map  A base map contains commonly recognized features:  Municipal boundaries  Water bodies  Roads  Provide a spatial reference for understanding other thematic content http://www.nyvineyardsite.org

11. Geospatial Data – Two Types Raster Vector

12.  Vector Data  Points represent features as a single coordinate  Lines represent linear features like streets and streams  Polygons represent area features like lakes or states   Raster data   Pixels summarize average ground conditions for the corresponding area on the ground Pixel

13. Beyond the NY Vineyard Site Evaluation System  Designed to meet a very specific need identified by the New York Wine & Grape Foundation  Cannot perform complex GIS processes or display user’s custom data layers  Full-featured GIS applications required for complex analysis   Full-featured GIS software allows:   Querying the entire map to find all areas that meet specific criteria, eg:   5-7% slopes; AND   150 day growing season; AND   Loamy, slightly acidic soils Supports Single Point Queries Point–based Information Report

14. Agriculture Site Suitability Analysis  Gathering data for suitability analysis can be a daunting task  Available data tend to be in different formats and require significant time and effort to prepare a useable dataset  Datasets are gathered and displayed in one location for anyone to use

19. Conclusion  GIS saves time and expenses while finding ideal business locations  There are many ways to go about analyzing site suitability  GIS cannot replace direct site inspection but can effectively filter out all but the most suitable areas
