The Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) is part of NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System, focusing on how human activities impact the environment. SEDAC serves as a crucial link between earth sciences and social sciences by integrating socioeconomic and environmental data.
Agriculture is a vital contributor to global environmental shifts, relying heavily on pesticides, fertilizers, and manure to sustain crop yields worldwide. Understanding the distribution and intensity of agricultural practices can enhance assessments of human and ecological exposure to potential toxins and identify areas vulnerable to environmental impacts like eutrophication, habitat loss, and species extinction. For developing sustainable agricultural practices that minimize environmental harm while supporting global food security, SEDAC hosts five datasets of global agricultural inputs:
- Global Pesticide Grids
- Phosphorus in Manure Production
- Phosphorus Fertilizer Application
- Nitrogen Fetilizer Application
- Nitrogen in Manure Production
