'Crop System Efficiency Index' and Managed Grassland now included in the updated LUC Impact Dataset
Blonk’s LUC Impact Dataset provides Land Use Change (LUC) Greenhouse Gas emissions for 9,000+ crop and country combinations. Our updated 2024 version now includes the ‘Crop System Efficiency Index’, which considers multiple cropping scenarios, and managed grassland as a land use category and additional crop type.

How to account for Land Use Change emissions in multiple cropping systems?
Multiple cropping is a practice, where a plot of land is subsequently planted with varying crops and harvested multiple times in a year. In the Land Use Change (LUC) methodology this has not been considered yet, leading to inaccurate LUC emission calculations. Therefore, we’ve investigated the opportunities to include multiple cropping and make more fair calculations, by applying the ‘Crop System Efficiency Index’.
