FABIO v2: Food and Agriculture Biomass Input-Output Database

FABIO provides a comprehensive set of multi-regional physical supply-use (PSUT) and input-output tables (IOT) covering global food and agriculture flows. It integrates data from FAOSTAT, IEA, EIA, and UN Comtrade/BACI to map the global flow of agricultural biomass from extraction to final consumption.

This repository contains the R code used to generate the database.

🚀 Key Features of FABIO v2

  • Broad Coverage: 181 regions (180 countries + 1 Rest of World).
  • High Resolution: 119 processes and 123 commodities.
  • Temporal Scope: Data coverage for the years 2010–2023.
  • Allocation Methods: Includes both mass and value-based allocation versions for symmetric tables.
  • Units: All values are in physical units (tonnes or heads) as specified in items.csv.
  • Sustainability Metrics: including land use, water use, nutrient cycles (N/P), GHG emissions, and biodiversity indicators (MSA loss, PDF).

📂 Database Structure

The database is provided in compressed .rds format, optimized for R. Most variables are organized as lists by year containing sparse matrices (using the Matrix package).

Component Description
Z Inter-commodity IO matrix (intermediate use). 22,263 x 22,263. Available as Z_mass and Z_value.
Y Final demand matrix. Includes categories: Food, Other (non-food), Stock additions, and Tourist consumption.
X Total output vector. The sum of intermediate and final use for all commodities.
L Leontief inverse $(I - A)^{-1}$. Provided for both mass and value allocation versions.
E Environmental extensions. 123 stressors x 22,263 products.

🛠 Installation & Usage

All processing is performed in R. To read the database files, ensure you have the Matrix package installed.

# Example: Reading a FABIO rds file
data <- readRDS("Z_mass_2020.rds")

Auxiliary Metadata (CSV)

For indexing and classification, refer to the following auxiliary files:

  • regions.csv: Country samples, ISO3 codes, and regional groupings.
  • items.csv: Commodity definitions, units, and product groupings.
  • io_labels.csv / su_labels.csv: Row and column labels for IO and Supply-Use tables.
  • fd_labels.csv: Column descriptions for the Final Demand (Y) matrix.
