Description

This dataset contains information on 20 FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) subsidy payment categories, expressed in €/ha, at the NUTS3 level for every second year over a 20-year period. It covers the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Greece, Spain, Finland, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Latvia, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom.

The dataset is part of the LAMASUS project deliverable D3.2 “Database on EU Policies and Payments for Agriculture, Forest, and Other Land Use Management (LUM) Related Drivers”. The methodology for the spatial downscaling approach, which was applied to derive FADN subsidy payments, is explained within this documentation. The outcome is probabilities how likely farm information is allocated to very small regional units. These probabilities are then used to calculate probability weighted farm information from at least 15 observations at these regional units. This information has been aggregated to the NUTS3 level.

Since the regional units prior to aggregation to the NUTS3 level are already expressed as ratios (€/ha), the aggregation value is calculated as an average of these ratios. This is because the numerator (payments) and denominator (hectares) are not an outcome of the downscaling approach.

A detailed description and discussion of the spatial downscaling method will be provided in a scientific article to be submitted later this year.

The dataset consists of one file and it has the following columns:

1.       NUTS_ID: NUTS3 identification code

2.       year: years of observation – 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020

3.       Remaining columns are the FADN codes for subsidy payments – see table below

Empty cells must be treated as NA (not available).

 

Important note: The database of subsidy payments provided is subject to revision as data and methodologies continue to be refined and improved!

Current status of results: In the data processing used to generate the results, a variable was applied that became invalid from 2010 onwards. As a result, the current version of the database is not fully reliable and will be updated once the downscaling approach has been revised.
