| Global Yield Gap Atlas Decision-making abilities for your next investment in agriculture are only as good as the data in front of you. The world's leading database on high-quality agronomic data with local to global relevance that covers up to 13 major food crops across 70 countries and six continents with the following data:
The data serves research, strategic decision making and local-global actions that aim to improve yield and resource use efficiency by public and private sectors. UPDATE: GYGA got featured in the recently-published 2022 Sustainable Development Report by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN)! Check out the 'Yield Gap Closure' indicator in the SDR 2022 here! |  |
Video "GYGA in a nutshell"
| The GYGA platform - what makes GYGA a unique database?
Currently, the country by crop combinations included in GYGA account for 88%, 76%, 55% and 71% respectively, of the global rice, maize, wheat and soybean growing areas.
| Research expertise by the GYGA team The GYGA team (University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Wageningen University & Research) consists of world-leading scientists on agronomy and resource use efficiency who will be happy to support you to achieve your goals. We always work in collaboration with country agronomists from reputable institutions with knowledge on production systems, soils, and climate to ensure local relevance and a strong agronomic foundation.

| “It is our ambition to add indicators on water use efficiency and nutrient use efficiency with the best available (agronomically robust) data. The Atlas can deliver this. It is also SDSN’s ambition to publish such indicators annually to monitor progress of realising the SDGs. Hence frequent updates of data are critical." | “The Atlas has the potential to be an important diagnostic tool for evidence-based policy dialogue, policy making and policy implementation around different SDGs, particularly also for developing countries. The expansion of the global data is critical for applications in integrated agriculture and land management, raising productivity in a sustainable manner." |

| GYGA has come a long way. GYGA started as a research project in 2011, and it has now transitioned into a first of its kind database that provides high-quality and locally-relevant data on yield gaps and agronomic data used by thousands across sectors (companies, public, research institute-academia, NGOs). In order to grow into a comprehensive and self-sustaining global database, we are looking for your contribution to determine the future development of GYGA and bring the platform to the next level! | |
