Shapefile for use in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), showing the number of certificates for seven crops (banana, coffee, cocoa, tea, oil palm, soybean, sugarcane) in 30 km x 30 km cells, from major voluntary sustainability standards. The most prevalent crop in each cell (that with the most certificates) is also identified. A detailed description of how this dataset was developed, and the sustainability standards included, is given in the linked paper by Tayleur et al. in Biological Conservation.
