Poverty Prevalence and Agro-Ecology: Investigations

Interplay between agro-ecology and poverty prevalence amongst rural households

The most widely used dataset is the Soil Fertility Capability Classification System (FCC) developed by Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) and the Tropical Agriculture Program of the Earth Institute at Columbia University.
