Impacts Dashboard for Genetic Innovation by Demont, Matty, Lenaerts, Bert

“…Impact Opportunities are downscaled from national to SPMS levels using Impact Area-specific scaling methods (e.g., based on targeted area, targeted calories produced, targeted production value, share of agricultural GDP, crop-specific greenhouse gas emissions, and crop-specific global genebank accessions). Users can visualize priorities at the three levels for all seven aggregates in three ways: (1) based on a single indicator through a treemap and (2) a global map, or (3) based on multiple indicators through two area charts, one for breadth indicators and another one for incidence indicators. …”
