Global Yield Gap Atlas

The Global Yield Gap Atlas is a tool that measures the difference between how much crop could potentially be grown on a farm (known as the "target" or ideal yield) and what is actually being produced in real-world conditions. It helps identify areas where crops are underperforming, so farmers, policymakers, and researchers can determine ways to improve productivity. By understanding these gaps, we can better plan for food security, optimize resource use, and develop strategies to increase crop yields sustainably across different regions worldwide.
