Crop Type (PD1620)

Type(s) of crop produced by the organization during the reporting period. Select from the options in the Reference List tab.

Organizations should footnote all assumptions used, including source of data.

This metric is intended to capture which type(s) of crop were produced by the organization during the reporting period. Organizations can report this metric at the organizational level (selecting all relevant answer options) or for a specific product or service (selecting only one crop type for the product or service for which the organization is reporting).
This metric aligns to Leading Harvest (https://www.leadingharvest.org/standard) Performance Measure 7.4: Crop Diversity.
The list of options in the Reference List follows guidance from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/QC).
