Data layers list

[htobon]

Help @camilor67 to reorganize the data-layers list that is in the side-menu. Some of the layers are miss-categorized and the layer names and categories may change to be more understandable at first view.

I scheduled a meeting with Osana last Friday (with Camillo in attendance) on this issue but she could not make it as she had another meeting. So I will schedule another meeting this week.. so we can move ahead on it.

Osana could not make the meeting the yesterday. I will have to schedule another.

Good.

I had a quick chat with Julian Ramirez, and here is his thoughts about the categorization:

1. socio-economic indicators
2. climate risk 2.1. climate risk indices 2.2. impacts on agriculture
3. climate change 3.1. changes in met. variables 3.2. impacts on agriculture 3.2.1. impacts on crop suitability 3.2.2. impacts on crop yields 3.2.2. socio-economic impacts

It would be great if you make a quick analysis on what we expect the people need to see on this specific section (Data layer list). Plus, we will require to define each of the categories AMKN has for each set of layers.

Meeting arranged with Osana later today for her views. Then we can move on.

A proposed data layer has been sent to you for review @htobon .

[htobon]

Hi Bunmi, did you see the last email sent from Julian?

[bunmyajilore]

@htobon Yes I did

@htobon @camilor67 So I just finish putting together another data layers proposal. It is like a combination of present AMKN format - which reallys need revamping - and some borrowed ideas from the RTB.

Please see below (will also send you guys the an attached document via mail):

AMKN Data Layer

Crops

• Banana

  o  Harvested Area
  o  Yield Potential
  o  Yield Gap
  o   Suitability Index
          Current suitability
          Future suitability
          Change in suitability

• Beans

  o  Harvested Area
  o  Yield Potential
  o  Yield Gap
  o   Suitability Index
          Current suitability
          Future suitability
          Change in suitability

• Cassava

  o  Harvested Area
  o  Yield Potential
  o  Yield Gap
  o   Suitability Index
          Current suitability
          Future suitability
          Change in suitability

• Potato

  o  Harvested Area
  o  Yield Potential
  o  Yield Gap
  o   Suitability Index
          Current suitability
          Future suitability
          Change in suitability

Biotic Factors

  - Pest
  - Diseases

Abiotic/Climatic Factors

   - Abiotic

        o  Failed seasons
        o  Length of growing period
        o High erosion risk
        o Aluminum toxicity
        o Cracking clays (Vertisols)
        o Low nutrient reserves
        o Salinity 
        o Phosphorus fixation
        o Edaphic factors

• Climatic

  o Total annual precipitation
  o Mean annual temperature
  o Temperature changes (2050)
  o Precipitation changes (2050)
  o Seasonal Drought Index

Socio-Economic Factors

 - Total population
 - Total rural population
 - Global human footprint
 - % of children underweight
 - % of children stunted (General)
 - % of children stunted by farming systems
 - Number of stunted children
 - Stunting among children under five
 - Number of people living on less than 1.25 US dollar per day
 - Number of people living on less than 2 US dollar per day
 - Accessibility 

Management

• Farming systems
• Planting date
• Nitrogen fertilizer application
• Phosphorus fertilizer application
• Evaluation sites

Biodiversity

• Crop gap richness
• High priority species
• Species richness

Tools

• GCP Atlas
• GCP Target Farming Systems
• World Clim
• FAO Soils (Soil Classes)

I think I'm not the correct person to review that proposal. If you think it is correct, lets move forward and implement it. I just wanted to make sure you went trough some of the recommendations made by Julian.
