FAO Cropland per Mesozone

Data on cropland was obtained from the global data set produced by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Data set was obtained as a raster image, and clipped to the boundaries of South Africa, before being converted to a vector layer. The BioEnergy Atlas bases its analyses on mesozones (Planning zones of approximately 50 km2, with relatively homogeneous attributes). This data set aggregates FAO Cropland to mesozones for planning purposes. The FGGD land cover occurrence maps are global raster data layers with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. Each pixel in each map contains a value representing the percentage of the area belonging to the land
