Each pixel classified as rural by the urban area boundaries map contains a numeric count of persons in the land area represented by the pixel, aggregated from the 30 arc-second datalayer. All remaining pixels contain no data. The method used by FAO to generate this datalayer is described in FAO, 2005, Mapping global urban and rural population distributions, by M. Salvatore, et. al. The FGGD Digital Atlas consists of more than 100 global database that allows to analyse food insecurity and poverty in relation to the environment.
