About
Provides data for analysing the relationship between agricultural inputs—specifically fertilizer and pesticide use—and cereal crop yields globally. The primary objective is to facilitate detailed studies on how different levels of these inputs affect worldwide crop productivity over several decades. The dataset allows users to quantify and assess the effects of farming practices on output.
Columns
The data product consists of several interconnected files (Cereal Yield, Fertilizer Consumption, Pesticide Usage). Key columns drawn from the various components include:
- Country: Identifies the geographical entity, featuring 202 distinct valid country values.
- Yield (hg/ha): Measures the cereal crop yield in hectograms per hectare. Sample data shows values ranging from 43.9 thousand up to 5.35 million.
- Area harvested (ha): Measures the total land area designated for cereal harvesting in hectares.
- Further data fields cover specific metrics relating to Fertilizer Consumption rates and detailed Pesticide Usage corresponding to specific countries and years.
Distribution
The product consists of multiple time-series datasets provided in CSV format. The structure is organised by Country and Year, tracking agricultural inputs and outputs related to cereals. The Cereal Crop Yield file covers data spanning from 1961 to 2018. While specific total row counts across all files are not provided, the yield data includes 202 distinct valid geographical entries. This product is noted to have an expected update frequency of 'Never'.
Usage
- Researching and modelling global food security trends and supply chain resilience.
- Analysing the efficiency and economic returns of various agricultural practices worldwide.
- Studying the long-term historical impact of chemical usage (pesticides and fertilizers) on cereal crop output.
- Developing and evaluating sustainable agriculture policies and resource allocation strategies.
Coverage
The dataset provides worldwide geographical coverage, including 202 unique countries. The time ranges vary depending on the specific input measure: Cereal Crop Yield and Fertilizer Consumption data span from 1961 to 2018, whereas Pesticide Usage information covers 1990 to 2017. The scope is strictly centred around global agricultural production, focusing specifically on cereal crops.
