Global Agricultural Lands: Croplands, 2000

Listed in Open NASA

The Global Croplands data set represents the proportion of land areas used as cropland (land used for the cultivation of food) in the year 2000.

Description

Satellite data from Modetate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre (SPOT) Image Vegetation sensors were combined with agricultural inventory data to create a global data set. The visual presentation of these data demonstrates the extent to which human land use for agriculture has changed the Earth and in which areas this change is most intense.

The data were compiled by Navin Ramankutty et al. (2008) and distributed by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).
