In JGCRI/gcamdata: Build the GCAM Input Datasets

module_aglu_LA101.ag_FAO_R_C_Y

Description

Aggregate FAO food consumption, ag production, and harvested area data to GCAM regions and GCAM commodities.

Usage

module_aglu_LA101.ag_FAO_R_C_Y(command, ...)

Arguments

command	API command to execute
...	other optional parameters, depending on command

Details

This chunk aggregates FAO food consumption, agricultural production, and harvested area data up to GCAM commodities and GCAM regions. Data is converted from FAO units (tons, hectares) to GCAM units (Mt, Pcal, billion km2). Note that FAO's alfalfa production in the USA is divided by 4 "for consistency with USDA". Note (August 2018 GPK revision) - The FAO production and harvested area are disaggregated to basin PRIOR to aggregation by GCAM region. This reduces the bias from using a single year (around 2000) to disaggregate to basin, in multi-country regions.

Value

Depends on command: either a vector of required inputs, a vector of output names, or (if command is "MAKE") all the generated outputs: L101.ag_Food_Mt_R_C_Y, L101.ag_Food_Pcal_R_C_Y, L101.ag_kcalg_R_C_Y, L101.ag_HA_bm2_R_C_Y, L101.ag_Prod_Mt_R_C_Y. The corresponding file in the original data system was LA101.ag_FAO_R_C_Y.R (aglu level1).
