"dct:description": "
Wheat (Triticum spp.) is one of the world's most important crops. In the developing world only rice is more important as a food source. In Africa, Ethiopia and South Africa are important producers.
Dataset Summary
This layer provides access to a 5 arc-minute (approximately 10 km at the equator)cell-sized raster of the 1999-2001 annual average area of wheat harvested in Africa. The data are in units of hectares/grid cell.
Data for important agricultural crops in South America are available here.
What can you do with this layer?
This layer is suitable for both visualization and analysis. It can be used in ArcGIS Online in web maps and applications and can be used in ArcGIS Desktop.
This layer has query, identify, and export image services available. This layer is restricted to a maximum area of 24,000 x 24,000 pixels which allows access to the full dataset.
The source data for this layer are available here.
This layer is part of a larger collection of landscape layers that you can use to perform a wide variety of mapping and analysis tasks.
The Living Atlas of the World provides an easy way to explore the landscape layers and many other beautiful and authoritative maps on hundreds of topics.

Rice (Oryza sativa and O. glaberrima) is one of the world's most important staple food crops. Over half of the world's population relies on rice. The people in some parts of Africa have been cultivating rice for over 3,500 years.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta) also known as manioc in South America, is grown world-wide in tropical and sub-tropical regions providing an important staple for the diet of over half a billion people. It is drought tolerant and grows well in marginal soils. More than half of the world's cassava production is from Africa and Nigeria is the world's largest producer. In Ghana, cassava accounts for roughly 30% of the calories eaten. The root of the cassava plant must be prepared to remove harmful compounds prior to eating.
