To show how crops are allocated to different uses around the world.
Worldwide demand for crops is increasing rapidly due to global population growth, increased biofuel production, and changing dietary preferences. Meeting these growing demands will be a substantial challenge that will tax the capability of our food system and prompt calls to dramatically boost global crop production.
Data contains estimates of food calories, total kilocalories produced for usage as food, the total kilocalories produced for usage as feed, total kilocalories produced for usage as non-food products, total kilocalories produced for all types of allocations, and the total harvested area used to produce food directly for feed.
This data was obtained from census data and by use of satellite imagery.
