Crop production is among the most extensive human activities on planet – with critical importance for global food security, land use, environmental burden, and climate. Yet despite key role that croplands play in use Earth systems, there remains little understanding of how spatial patterns crop cultivation have recently evolved which crops contributed to these changes. Here we construct a new data library subnational crop-specific irrigated rainfed harvested area statistics combine it gridded cover products develop (5-arcminute) cropped (MIRCA-OS) dataset years 2000 2015 23 classes. These support insights into spatially detailed cropland change since start century provide an improved foundation wide array assessments spanning agriculture, water resource management, change, climate impact, sustainable development.

Food security is an important foundation of national security. Since China entered a new era in 2012, the supply agricultural and animal husbandry products Qinghai has continuously enhanced. However, implementation ecological policies such as Grain for Green Grassland Ecological Compensation restricted cultivation grazing areas. At same time, with improvement living standards food consumption demand local residents, contradiction between human beings land become increasingly prominent. It necessary to analyze balance evaluate This study used supply–demand analysis spatial autocorrelation based on county-level statistical data production collected through random sampling surveys reveal characteristics main types during 2012–2022 well self-sufficiency changes their clustering features. The results showed that regions higher grain meat were concentrated northeast past decade, while mainly counties larger populations. county level, could not achieve self-sufficiency, except northeastern Qinghai; was self-sufficient most counties.

A framework for handling uncertainty in a large-scale programme estimating the Global Burden of Animal Diseases

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: March 7, 2025

Livestock provide nutritional and socio-economic security for marginalized populations in low middle-income countries. Poorly-informed decisions impact livestock husbandry outcomes, leading to poverty from disease, with repercussions on human health well-being. The Global Burden of Animal Diseases (GBADs) programme is working understand the impacts disease upon livelihoods welfare. This information can then be used by policy makers operating regionally, nationally making global decisions. burden animal crosses many scales estimating it a complex task, extensive requirements data subsequent synthesis. Some that decision-makers require represented quantitative estimates derived field models. Model outputs contain uncertainty, arising sources such as quality availability, or user’s understanding models production systems. Uncertainty needs recognized, accommodated, accurately reported. enables robust synthesized estimates, associated providing rigor around values will inform management decision-making. Approaches handling uncertainty their receive scant attention economics literature; indeed, sometimes perceived an analytical weakness. However, knowledge important generating point estimates.

HarvestStat Africa – Harmonized Subnational Crop Statistics for Sub-Saharan Africa

Scientific Data, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12(1)

Published: April 24, 2025

Abstract Sub-Saharan Africa faces severe agricultural data scarcity amidst high food insecurity and a large yield gap, making crop production crucial for understanding enhancing systems. To address this HarvestStat presents the largest compilation of open-access subnational statistics time-series across Africa. Based on collated by USAID’s Famine Early Warning Systems Network, are standardized calibrated changing administrative units to produce consistent continuous time-series. The dataset includes 574,204 records, primarily spanning from 1980 2022, detailing quantity produced, harvested areas, yields 33 countries 94 types, including key cereals in such as wheat, maize, rice, sorghum, barley, millet, fonio. This new enhances our how climate variability change influence production, supports system analysis, aids operational forecasting. As an open-source resource, it establishes precedent sharing inform decision-making modeling efforts.
