Dataset for the paper "EXPANDING SMALLHOLDER IRRIGATION IN CENTRAL KENYA DEMONSTRATES THE IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTING GRASSLAND LANDSCAPES"

This dataset contains the labels created for the cropland mapping task.

2912 labels (polygons) are created using the June 2022 satellite imagery extracted from the Norway's International Climate and Forests Initiative (NICFI) Satellite Data Program and accessible using Planet's API.

The dataset is a geojson file with the following fields:

quad: This column references a specific quadrant or tile. Each quadrant is identified by a unique code, such as "L15-1238E-1025N", provided by Planet.

land_type: This column indicates the type of land use for the polygon area. There are two main categories of agriculture ("Smallholder agriculture" and "Largeholder agriculture") and a category for "Other vegetation". In the paper "Smallholder agriculture" and "Largeholder agriculture" are merged into a single label "cropland" while "Other vegetation" is considered "non-cropland."

geometry: This column contains the geometrical data defining each polygon in the form of a list of vertex coordinates. For example, [ [ 37.79092, 0.19152 ], [ 37.791563, 0.190876 ], [ 37.790544, 0.190152 ], [ 37.7899, 0.190823 ], ….] defines a polygon through a sequence of longitude and latitude pairs, which enclose a specific area of land.
