Rural population in Latin America and Caribbean.
Data from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, LandScan Global Population 1998 Database. Estimates for rural population were obtained by excluding the Urban Population Areas. This was achieved by removing settled and partly settled grid cells from the Landcover Dataset and removing(limiting) propulation density figures to produce a net result which approximates the known rural population. Data-set has been exported as Binary format.

- Supplemental Information
- As part of the the World Bank's review of its rural development strategy, the Bank sought the assistance of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in evaluating how farming systems might change and adapt over the next thirty years. Amongst other objectives, the World Bank asked FAO to provide guidance on priorities for investment in food security, poverty reduction, and economic growth, and in particular to identify promising approaches and technologies that will contribute to these goals. The results of the study are summarized in a set of seven documents, comprising six regional reports and the global overview contained in this volume. This document, which synthesises the results of the six regional analyses as well as discussing global trends, cross-cutting issues and possible implementation modalities, presents an overview of the complete study. This document is supplemented by two case study reports of development issues of importance to farming systems globally.
