The raster dataset consists of a 500m score grid for wheat storage location achieved by processing sub-model outputs that characterize logistical factors for selected crop warehouse location: • Supply: Wheat. • Demand: Human population density, Major cities population (national and bordering countries). • Infrastructure/accessibility: main transportation infrastructure.
It consists of an arithmetic weighted sum of normalized grids (0 to 100): ("Crop Production" * 0.4) + ("Human Population Density" * 0.2) + ("Major Cities Accessibility" * 0.1) + (“Poverty” * 0.1) + ("Major Ports Accessibility" * 0.1)+("Major Regional Cities Accessibility" * 0.1).
This 500m resolution raster dataset is part of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) aimed at the identification of value chain infrastructure sites (optimal location).
