New paper & R package (gcamfaostat) alert: gcamfaostat: An R package to prepare, process, and synthesize FAOSTAT data for global agroeconomic and multisector dynamic modeling joss.theoj.org/papers/10.2110…
1. gcamfaostat offers functions for downloading, processing, and synthesizing various FAOSTAT datasets. 2. Utilizing the "drake" structure, it efficiently pipelines and executes all available data processing modules, thereby generating intermediate and final outputs.
3. Every data point from FAOSTAT since #GCAM v7.0 is now traceable, ensuring accuracy and reliability in future updates. 4. The package provides flexibility to process and update FAOSTAT data for any agroeconomic modeling needs. jgcri.github.io/gcamfaostat/ar…
This initiative goes beyond GCAM and marks just the beginning of our journey. We invite and value community contributions. Together, let's bridge the gap between data, modeling, and the broader audience. jgcri.github.io/gcamfaostat/CO…
