Layered information on a grid cell

Many of HarvestChoice spatial datasets are organized and released on 10-km grids. To make spatial analyses easier for researchers (even without having access to GIS platform), we put data layers from multiple themes together in one denormalized big table. This post describes the methodology and presents a prototype.

HarvestChoice uses a so-called meso-scale spatial grid typically at 10km or 5-arc minute resolution.
