In order to produce the best global cropland map, the fittest existing cropland map at country level was identified by means of a multi-criteria analysis.  Four criteria were selected to evaluate the fitness of a cropland map: the adequacy of the legend, the spatial resolution, the timeliness and the confidence level.  Those fittest maps were resampled at 250 meters in a reference grid with an average resampling method and then joined spatially in order to form the Unified Cropland Layer. The current version is for the year 2014.
