Coverage and data download Coverage and data download

Do you want to download the data from GYGA? Please read the license information here.

Are you working in a private company and you want to use the data from GYGA? Please read the Subscription and service page.

The GYGA platform contains the following data:

Actual and potential yield and yield gap
Actual and potential water productivity
Actual and minimum nutrient requirement
Underlying data on weather, soil and cropping systems
Climate zonation and Technology Extrapolation Domains (TEDs).

The data are available at three different geographical levels:

National level
Climate zone level
Reference weather station level (location).

Can I get a sample of the data? Sample datasets can be downloaded in Excel format. For example:

Country-level data (all crops grown in one country), e.g. for the Netherlands download the file here with country results and another file here with country model run results
Country-level data organised by region (one crop grown on one region), e.g. for Europe download a file here.

Where can I download the GYGA data?

From continent pages. Find a table with the regions below
From the country pages. Find a table with the various countries further below
From the Atlas viewer.

The tables below give an overview of the current coverage of GYGA. Do you have a specific request, e.g. to have a particular crop or country added or updated? Please contact us!
