Demeter’s soil data covers Global, the period shown on this page. Coverage can be inspected directly in the map viewer on this page, and a wider range of data on soil is available in the downloads section above. Longer history and wider coverage are available through the Demeter platform.
Downloads from this page are provided as the formats shown in the downloads section on this page. Every Demeter dataset is built to be legible to AI, so the quickest way to inspect one is to open it with Claude, ChatGPT or another AI platform. Datasets with a map component also open in GIS software, including the free open-source QGIS as well as ArcGIS. Numerical and tabular data is provided in Microsoft Excel-compatible formats such as XLSX and CSV.
Click any point in the map viewer on this page and Demeter returns the values at that location. For many datasets you can also use the location search below the viewer to look up a place by name and read its values. Neither needs GIS software, a download or an account.
Demeter updates soil data as new source data is published. The period currently published on this page is the period shown on this page. Higher-frequency series, longer history and release notifications are available through the Demeter platform.
Demeter’s datasets are compiled from a wide range of proprietary, public and third-party sources. Where a Demeter dataset incorporates third-party data without substantial additional processing, that source is prominently attributed in the dataset description.
Yes. All Demeter data is standardised onto a common taxonomy, so soil can be compared and combined directly with every other Demeter dataset, across regions and across domains. The same conventions apply wherever you use the data — on this page, on the Demeter platform and through the Demeter MCP server.
Downloads from this page are made available free of charge, subject to appropriate citation.
