Convert FAO data

Source: R/convertFAO.R
convertFAO.Rd

Converts FAO data to fit to the common country list and removes or converts relative values where possible. Yields (Hg/ha) are for instance removed since they can later easily be calculated from production and area but might be problematic in the spatial aggregation. Per capita demand values are transformed into absolute values using population estimates from the calcPopulationPast function.

Usage

convertFAO(x, subtype)

Arguments

x

MAgPIE object containing original values

subtype

The FAO file type, e.g.: CBCrop

Value

Data as MAgPIE object with common country list
