Agricultural Land Classes of Africa (version 2)
Map distinguishing 14 classes of agricultural land in Africa. Agricultural land includes arable land, permanent crops and permanent pastures. The map is a classification of the 'Agricultural Land of Africa (verion 2)' dataset. Primary input data source to develop the map was the Copernicus Global Land Service; Land Cover 100m; collection 3; epoch 2019; Globe (https://zenodo.org/record/3939050). In addition, the Agro-ecological zones of Africa (AEZ; version 2009 developed by IFPRI, https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/HJYYTI) dataset was used. The map was generated by applying agricultural land classification rules to a set of Copernicus Global Land Cover layers (main discrete classification, cover fractions for cropland/forest/herbaceous vegetation/shrubland) and the AEZ layer. The map has a spatial resolution of 100 m.
