Service Description:

Croplands cover ~15 million km2 of the planet and provide the bulk of the food and fiber essential to human well-being. Most global land cover data sets from satellites group croplands into just a few categories, thereby excluding information that is critical for answering key questions ranging from biodiversity conservation to food security to biogeochemical cycling. Information about agricultural land use practices like crop selection, yield, and fertilizer use is even more limited. Here we present land use data sets created by combining national, state, and county level census statistics with a global data set of croplands on a 5 minute by 5 minute (~10 km by 10 km) latitude/longitude grid.

This dataset is maintained by EarthStat.org. Learn more about the dataset here.

This layer was developed for chapter two, "The Living Land", of an ongoing series of Story Maps on the Anthropocene. It was designed to be used with any dark themed basemap.
