Hierarchical distribution of severe environmental constraints (FGGD)

The FGGD severe environmental constraints map is a global raster datalayer with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. Pixels with no severe environmental constraints contain a value of zero. Each other pixel contains a cumulative class value that shows which environmental constraint is binding in the pixel area. The data are from FAO and IIASA, 2000, Global agro-ecological zones, as reported in FAO and IIASA, 2007, Mapping biophysical factors that influence agricultural production and rural vulnerability, by H. von Velthuizen et al.
