HarvestChoice generates knowledge products to help guide strategic decisions to improve the well-being of the poor in sub-Saharan Africa through more productive and profitable farming. To this end, HarvestChoice has developed and continues to expand upon a spatially explicit, landscape level evaluation framework. HarvestChoice’s evolving list of knowledge products includes maps, datasets, working papers, country briefs, user-oriented tools, and spatial and economic models designed to target the needs of investors, policymakers, and research analysts who are working to improve the food supply of the world's poor http://harvestchoice.org.

International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), 2020, "Spatially-Disaggregated Crop Production Statistics Data in Africa South of the Sahara for 2017", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FSSKBW, Harvard Dataverse, V3
Using a variety of inputs, IFPRI's Spatial Production Allocation Model (SPAM, also known as MapSPAM) uses a cross-entropy approach to make plausible estimates of crop distribution within disaggregated units. Moving the data from coarser units such as countries and sub-national provinces, to finer units such as grid cells, reveals spatial patterns o...

This dataset was created by re-compiling available open, gender/sex-disaggregated Feed the Future data for Ghana and applying standard processing methods to enhance their accessibility and interoperability. This process entailed the standardization of variable names and labels, the creation of derived socio-economic indicators such as dietary diver...

HarvestChoice, International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI); University of Minnesota, 2017, "CELL5M: A Multidisciplinary Geospatial Database for Africa South of the Sahara", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/G4TBLF, Harvard Dataverse, V5
Spatially-explicit data is increasingly becoming available across disciplines, yet they are often limited to a specific domain. In order to use such datasets in a coherent analysis, such as to decide where to target specific types of agricultural investment, there should be an effort to make such datasets harmonized and interoperable. For Africa So...

Koo, Jawoo; Dimes, John, 2013, "HC27 Generic Soil Profile Database", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/90WJ9W, Harvard Dataverse, V5
The HC27 soil profile database consists of generic soil profiles developed by John Dimes and Jawoo Koo. The 27 soil profiles were generated based on three criteria that crop models are most responsive to: texture, rooting depth (proxy of water availability), and organic carbon content (proxy of fertility). Three levels for each category were classi...
