Crop Expansion Development Potential Index
Year: 2018
Type: dataset
Abstract: This global dataset continuously ranks from >0 (minimal) to 1 (highest) all suitable lands at a 1-km resolution for crop expansion. These data are derived from the weighted summary of three criteria maps: 1) mean potential yield in tons/km2 of ten crops (i.e. barley, cassava, maize, oil palm, rapeseed, rice, sugarcane, sorghum, soybean, and wheat), 2) market accessibility, and 3) land supply elasticity. Included with these data are: a) the classified version of the continuous DPI, b) the corresponding classified uncertainty dataset, c) detailed sensitivity tables for all criteria used in the analysis, and d) full description of the constraints and criteria used in the analysis with the Analytic Hierarch Process (AHP) pairwise comparison matrix and resulting criteria weights derived from AHP.
