More information

This dataset classifies crop production for 42 different crops into four systems: irrigated high input, irrigated low input, rainfed high input, and rainfed low input.

These categories reflect differences in water use and input intensity.

The spatial mapping of these systems helps to understand regional variations in farming practices, technology use, and resource allocation.
