Description

This dataset contains animals products (meat, milk, and eggs) produced by livestock species assessed in GLEAM model for a reference year 2015. For easier comparison, commodities are expressed in units of protein. Note that these values are calculated by the model from herd performance parameters, animal numbers (GLW 4), and other geospatially explicit data. Aggregated values (for example by country) might therefore deviate from officially reported statistics, for example in FAOSTAT. The livestock species included in the assessment are buffaloes, cattle, chicken, goats, pigs and sheep.

FAO GLEAM

Description

GLEAM is a modelling framework that simulates the interaction of activities and processes involved in livestock production and the environment. The model can operate at (sub) national, regional and global scale.

GLEAM differentiates key stages along livestock supply chains such as feed production, processing and transport; herd dynamics, animal feeding and manure management; and animal products processing and transport. The model captures the specific impacts of each stage, offering a comprehensive and disaggregated picture of livestock production and its use of natural resources

Spatial resolution

Global coverage

Resolution not coarser than 5 arc minutes (circa 10 x 10km at the equator). This is the same spatial resolution at which GLEAM produces the outputs.
