About
This plugin gives access to raster data published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations through the FAO GISMGR 2.0 API (data.apps.fao.org), including the WaPOR water productivity datasets and many other FAO workspaces (CHIRPS, ASIS, GAEZ, GLW and more). Users define their study region in their QGIS project and download spatial subsets of the selected datasets while the program runs in the background. Filtering, and minor statistical options are available as well.
