GFSAD1000: Cropland Extent 1km Crop Dominance, Global Food-Support Analysis Data [deprecated]
The GFSAD is a NASA-funded project to provide high-resolution global cropland data and their water use that contributes towards global food security in the twenty-first century. The GFSAD products are derived through multi-sensor remote sensing data (e.g., Landsat, MODIS, AVHRR), secondary data, and field-plot data and aims at documenting cropland dynamics.
At a nominal 1km scale, V0.0 provides the spatial distribution of the five major global cropland types (wheat, rice, corn, barley, and soybeans) which occupy 60% of all global cropland areas. The map is produced by overlaying these crops over the remote sensing derived global irrigated and rainfed cropland area map
