The Dutch landscape is known for its high agricultural productivity which has enabled the Netherlands to become one of the global leaders in agricultural exports. This is further facilitated by the presence of major ports, such as the Port of Rotterdam, within the Dutch Delta which ship these agricultural products to numerous ports located within varying agro-climatic zones across the world. However, the pressing issue of sea level rise due to climate change poses a serious threat to these productive landscapes which are primarily located within the Dutch lowlands.

At the scale of the Netherlands, the project uses cartography as an analytical tool by drawing exaggerated transects across the country to understand the relation between the location of the productive landscapes and the elevations. This method is also used to create synthetic maps to understand the effect of the sea level rise by mapping the submergence to projected levels by Deltares and also the network of protection infrastructure - dykes.
