Crop Masks

The primary crop mask data used by the GLAM system is from the GEOGLAM Global Best Available Crop Specific Masks (GEOGLAM-BACS).

The GEOGLAM Best Available Crop Specific masks (BACS) cover the major production and export countries for wheat, maize, rice, and soybeans, in the context of the G20 Global Agriculture Monitoring Program, GEOGLAM.

Boundary Layers

Administrative boundaries used in the GLAM system are courtesy of geoBoundaries. The geoBoundaries is world's largest open database of administrative boundaries at different levels. More information about these layers can be found at geoBoundaries.
