The raster dataset consists of a 500 m score grid for dairy processing industry facilities siting, produced under the scope of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis for value chain infrastructure location.
The analysis is based on cattle production potential using proximity to cities and cattle density.
The score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs that characterize production, logistical, and socio-economic factors.
-
Supply - Feed and livestock distribution.
-
Infrastructure - Transportation network (accessibility).
-
Atlas AI Asset Wealth Index.
It consists of an arithmetic weighted sum of normalized grids (0 to 100):
(”Cattle Density” * 0.4) + (“Major Cities Accessibility” * 0.4) + (”Asset Wealth” *0.2 )
