The brief

The existing LandIS agreement between Cranfield University (CU) and Defra sets out the conditions under which Defra can access: • The platform which is owned and hosted by Cranfield for the provision of National Soil Map (NATMAP) • National Soil Inventory (NSI) and soil attribute data (SOILSERIES & HORIZON), and its supplementary data bases (broadly: the LandIS platform data).

All Crown bodies currently enjoy full royalty-free access to LandIS, and this available to charities and research institutions.
