Synopsis (short abstract) The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have been continuously developing the Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZ) methodology over the past 40 years for assessing agricultural resources potentials. With each update of GAEZ, the issues addressed, the size of the database and the increased result options are part of new GAEZv4 Data Portals providing interactive access of data and results to users. This user Guide provides information and examples on how to navigate through the platform and extract the needed information. The user guide provides information about (1) basic information about the data limitation and the disclaimer, (2) GAEZ Data Searching, (3) Navigation menu, (4) Dataset Selection, (5) GAEZ mapping interface, (6) GAEZ data portal login and download.

    The Agro-Ecological Zoning (AEZ) methodology, developed by FAO and IIASA, is a well-established modeling system used for sustainable land-use planning, agricultural investments, and assessing climate change impacts on agriculture. PyAEZ is and open-source Python package developed by FAO with the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), and in collaboration with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), which offers AEZ calculations for user to implement for their own AEZ analyses. The latest version, PyAEZ v2.1, is now available on GitHub and through the Global Agro-Ecological Zoning Data Portal and it was presented during a virtual event on 12 July 2023 with the objective to support land use planning and enhance the utilization of land resources at different scales.
