A spatiotemporal database on the energy, macro and micro-nutrients from the Brazilian agricultural production.

ABSTRACT: To construct this database, we integrate the nutritional content of 62 crops and 5 livestock categories to estimate the amount of 21 macro and micro-nutrients (including energy) that were produced from agriculture in each Brazilian municipality during the last three decades. Additionally, we allocate these nutrients according to their share in the food system (for example, human food, animal feed, export etc.). It is a unique data source on macro and micro-nutrients availability for human consumption and animal feed, but also regarding another aspects of the food system, such as international agricultural trade, energy production (for example, in the form of ethanol) or post-harvest and post-processing losses, from local to national levels, in a wide time frame of 30 years.
