Global Yield Gap Atlas

Global Yield Gap Atlas (GYGA) offers high-quality and locally relevant data on yield gap and potential, water productivity, nutrient requirement, and other agronomic data such as weather, soil, and crop management system. GYGA has now coverage of up to 13 food crops across 70 countries and six continents with the possibility of expansion. Since 2011, the platform has achieved almost data downloads by private/public/non-profit sectors including agricultural input companies (e.g. seeds, agrochemicals, biostimulants), consultancy companies, financial agencies, governments, donors, research institutions, and NGOs as reference points for strategic decision making and research on yield optimisation. Potential applications of GYGA: 1. Market identification and selection of priority areas for investment, field trials, or scaling out of products. Impact assessment of agricultural investment by measuring progress of indicators (e.g. yield gap, water productivity). Locally relevant data for crop modelling 4. R&D and product development 5. Generate insights on how to close yield gaps and analysis on food security, biodiversity, land use, and climate change
