The 2015 Hawaii statewide agricultural land use baseline layer was created to provide a snapshot of current commercial agricultural land use activity. The purpose of this layer was to help define the areas, circumstances, and resources that drive the agricultural production taking place throughout the state.
Mapping the state's current agriculture on Hawai'i used the Geographic Information System (GIS) resources at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo's Spatial Data Analysis and Visualization Laboratory, in conjunction with the Hawai’i State Department of Agriculture.
Note: April 2022: Several users of the data discovered that the original 2015 Hawaiʻi Statewide Agricultural Land Use Baseline layer and the 2020 Update to the Hawaiʻi Statewide Agricultural Land Use Baseline layer did not overlay properly, with an offset between the layers of 10 feet to 40 feet, depending on the area. As a result, both the original and the updated layers have been republished, and now overlay as they should. The underlying data itself has not changed.

Sponsor of the 2015 Hawai’i Crop Layer. Funding for the 2015 Hawaii Statewide Agricultural Land Use Baseline was provided by the Hawai’i State Department of Agriculture. Authors of the 2015 Hawai’i Crop Layer. The University of Hawai’i at Hilo Spatial Data Analysis and Visualization (SDAV) Laboratory carried out the work under the direction of Dr. R.L. Perroy, Project Manager Jeffrey Melrose, and Cartographer and Geospatial Analyst Sylvana Cares. UH Hilo Undergraduate student interns Leilani Yamasaki and Ian Seely also contributed many hours to this work.

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The 2015 Hawaii Statewide Agricultural Land Use Baseline layer was created to provide a snapshot of contemporary commercial agricultural land use activity in Hawaii. It is based upon an assemblage of geospatial datasets, primarily high-resolution WorldView-2 satellite imagery (2011 – 2013) used as a base layer for digitization. Additional datasets used in this work include GIS layers (‘Agriculture and Farming’, ‘Inland Water Resources’, and ‘Cadastral and Land Descriptions’) provided by the state of Hawaii, Office of Planning Statewide GIS Program and other data provided by major land owners and managers. County Real Property Tax and Agricultural Water Use data were also used to identify commercial farm operations. Data for both real property tax assessment and agricultural water use were collected from each county that provided their most recent records, generally from 2014-2015. Not all properties that receive County agricultural tax assessment rates or reduced water cost for agricultural uses were mapped due to the small scale of some of their operations. These data sources were used to verify mapped commercial farms and identify operations that might have been missed using the imagery alone. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Digitized crop locations and boundaries were verified through a combination of on-the-ground site visits, meetings and presentations of draft layers with agricultural stakeholders and landowners, solicitations through a publicly accessible online web mapping portal, and spot-checking using Google Earth™ and other high resolution imagery sources. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The 2015 Hawaii Statewide Agricultural Land Use Baseline layer represents our best efforts to capture the scale and diversity of commercial agricultural activity in Hawaii in 2015 and should be used for informational purposes only. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Note: April 2022: Several users of the data discovered that the original 2015 Hawaiʻi Statewide Agricultural Land Use Baseline layer and the 2020 Update to the Hawaiʻi Statewide Agricultural Land Use Baseline layer did not overlay properly, with an offset between the layers of 10 feet to 40 feet, depending on the area.
