Where to invest to increase crop yields?
In many parts of the world farmer’s yields are well below what is possible. The difference between farmers yields and the potential is called the yield gap. The Global Yield Gap Atlas (GYGA) provides insight in the magnitude of this gap for different crops across the world. It takes into account regions where crops are mainly dependent on rainfall as well as areas where irrigation is applied. Besides, the atlas provides the required nutrient input to close the yield gap to different levels like 50% or 80%.
