Results in MCE

I have put all the fuzzy maps into the MCE, and the outcome is an overall fuzzy map "alleywlc". The 8 criterion of the fuzzy maps included: The area has been deforested, overgrazed, chemincal and physical deteriorated, suffered in severe water and soil erosion. The darkest green areas show the most suitable area of establishing an alley farm in Africa. As you can see, most areas in Africa are in the most suitable range. These areas can meet all the criterion of an alley farm. Even in the arid region, such as Sahara Desert, in the middle part of Africa, is also suitable for establishing an alley farm, since alley farming works well in low precipitation areas.

Here is the WEIGHT table that I have used for the comparisons among each factors.
The eigenvector of weight :
alleyagrifuzz: 0.1790
alleyforestfuzz: 0.1802
alleygrazfuzz: 0.1270
alleyratefuzz: 0.0830
alleysoilfuzz2: 0.0781
alleywaterfuzz: 0.1273
alleywindfuzz: 0.0882
phychemfuzz: 0.1371

The consistency ratio is 0.24. I have assigned the weight for comparison according to the Pairwise Comparison 9 Point Continuous Scale below. The" less important range" is from 1 to 1/9 , wheareas the "more important range" is from 1 to 9. The range that i have assigned in the following table is from 1/5 to 5.

Here is the consistency matrix table.

I have added a Vector file of the country boundaries over my MCE result map.
From this map, i find that alley farming system can be practised almost in every country in Africa.
