Short summary
We present a global geospatial database of cropland and pastures for the year 2015. We built these data by fusing satellite-based land cover data with agricultural census data using machine learning. This database is an update to an earlier version representing the year 2000. It can be used to study issues such as land use, food security, climate change, and biodiversity loss. We provide a reproducible code base that can be used to easily update the product for future years.
