This dataset comprises spatial and temporal agricultural data compiled from the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) Public Database available at the FADN-region level and further disaggregated using Corine Land Cover (CLC) information about agricultural area.

Processing to NUTS level:

CLC data layers were used to overlay what is defined as "Agricultural areas" in CLC level 1classification (#2**) with FADN and NUTS regions. The overlay allows to calculate area-weighted shares and further to allocate FADN farm weights to the NUTS level. This allows the application of weights at the NUTS granularity. Please keep in mind, this is only possible under the assumption of heterogeneous farms within the FADN region. 

File description:

The dataset consists of eight files, corresponding to four different levels of NUTS coding (NUTS 0-3) according to the 2016 NUTS specification and each of those for the two different sampling periods. 
FADN data from 2004 onwards, standard results calculated for farms grouped according to EU typology of agricultural holdings based on standard output (SO). 
FADN data from 1989 to 2009, standard results calculated for farms grouped according to EU typology of agricultural holdings based on standard gross margin (SGM). 

For each csv file, the following columns are included: 

Identifier:

1. NUTS Code: The unique identifier for the NUTS (2016) region
2. Year: The year of the data point

Variables:

      3. weighting: number of farms represented
      4. and after: SE standard result variables, for detailed description, please have a look at the accompanied xlsx: variable_description_zenodo.xlsx
