25 June 2007 The map is a global raster datalayer with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. It provides a preliminary perspective on where cropping systems could be changed to achieve substantial soil carbon sequestration. It highlights the intersection of locations with medium-to-high soil carbon sequestration potential and croplands, as identified by the GLC2000 global land cover database. The data sources are from FAO and GLC2000 database. [more]

25 June 2007 The map is a global raster datalayer with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. It shows areas of biodiversity hotspots on croplands poorly suited to rainfed agriculture which also have high poverty rates. Poverty rates areas are mapped using the datasets on stunting amongst children under five dataset (FAO). The stunting indicator is based on an estimate of the distribution of chronic undernutrition at national and sub-national levels using stunting in growth among children under five years of age. Areas with over 40 percent prevalence of stunting amongst children under the age of five are shown. The data sources are from FAO. [more]

25 June 2007 The map is a regional (Neotropics) raster data layer with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. The mapgives an indication of areas at risk of conversion to agriculture in parts of South America. Wassenaar et. al. (2006) identified the areas at highest risk of conversion to pasture and croplands, using a model that explicitly incorporates dimensions such as location, suitability and various factors affecting relative economic values of land uses.

25 June 2007 The map is a global raster datalayer with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. It overlays information about areas considered biodiversity "hotspots", with information on suitability for agriculture and on current land use patterns. Biodiversity hotspot maps are generated by Conservation International. Conservation International 2005. [more]

12 June 2007 The FGGD total currently available land map is a global raster datalayer with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. Pixels classified as urban, closed forest, or irrigated are indicated as land not currently available for rainfed agriculture. All remaining pixels classified as other land represent land currently available for rainfed agriculture. The method is described in FAO and IIASA, 2007, Mapping biophysical factors that influence agricultural production and rural vulnerability, by H. von Velthuizen et al. [more]

29 May 2007 The FGGD land cover occurrence maps are global raster datalayers with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. Each pixel in each map contains a value representing the percentage of the area belonging to the land cover type concerned. The method is described in FAO and IIASA, 2007, Mapping biophysical factors that influence agricultural production and rural vulnerability, by H. von Velthuizen et al. [more]

25 February 2009 This dataset forms part of a global livestock mapping project by the Food and Agriculture Organization's Animal Production and Health Division (FAO-AGA). The methodology and sources of data are fully described in a document entitled: "The Gridded Livestock of the World FAO (2007)". In summary, for each country the most recent available sub-national livestock census data and corresponding administrative boundaries have been collected. These are then converted into densities, excluding land unsuitable for livestock (either monogastric or ruminant), to provide the 'observed' data. [more]

2 February 2006 The map shows the estimated pig meat surplus and deficit at a resolution of 100 x 100 km cells, for the whole world. [more]

2 February 2006 The map shows the global distribution of livestock production system, using the Seré&Steinfeld methodology to classify in three different categories the production types: Mixed irrigated, Mixed rainfed, Grazing, and other types. [more]

2 February 2006 The map shows the estimated poultry meat surplus and deficit at a resolution of 100 x 100 km cells, for the whole world. [more]
