Global Agro-Ecological Zones (GAEZ v3.0)

The Global Agro-ecological Zones (GAEZ) system assists rational land-use planning on the basis of an inventory of land resources and evaluation of the biophysical limitations and production potentials of land. The current version (GAEZ v3.0) provides a major update of data and extension of the methodology used in the 2000 and 2002 GAEZ releases. GAEZ v3.0 incorporates two important new global data sets on "actual yield and production and gaps between actual and potential yield and production."
