Dataset for embodied crop calories in animal products

This dataset provides data on crop and animal calories produced, and crop calorie used as livestock feed in 5 min grid for the year 2000 in million kilocalories (10e6 kcal). Ratio between crop calorie used as livestock feed and crop calories produced ("crop balance for livestock"), and crop calorie used as livestock feed and animal calories produced ("embodied crop calories") are provided in percentage. Please refer to Pradhan et al. (2013) for methods regarding how the data are generated. Pradhan, Prajal, Matthias KB Lüdeke, Dominik E. Reusser, and Jürgen P.
