DATA PROVENANCE

Sources

Terra Cultiva prioritizes public, documented and reproducible sources. These are the datasets that power the observatory and the role of each one.

FAOSTAT / FAO

Primary statistical source. The Crops and livestock products domain supplies production, area, yield, stocks and other annual indicators used throughout the site.

GeoNames

Geographic enrichment layer used to reconcile countries, ISO codes and related geographic information.

Map boundaries

The world map uses simplified GeoJSON boundaries to connect FAOSTAT values with countries.

Terra Cultiva calculations

Rankings, world shares, changes, CAGR, records and averages are computed by Terra Cultiva from the source observations.
