Description

__________________________________

EuroCrops is a dataset collection combining all publicly available self-declared crop reporting datasets from countries of the European Union.

The raw data obtained from the countries does not come in a unified, machine-readable taxonomy. We, therefore, developed a new Hierarchical Crop and Agriculture Taxonomy (HCAT) that harmonises all declared crops across the European Union. In the shapefiles you'll find these as additional attributes:

Hamonisation with HCAT
Attribute Name Explanation
EC_trans_n The original crop name translated into English
EC_hcat_n The machine-readable HCAT name of the crop
EC_hcat_c The 10-digit HCAT code indicating the hierarchy of the crop

Participating countries

Find detailed information for all countries of the European Union in our GitHub Wiki, especially the countries represented in EuroCrops:

Please also reference the countries' dependent source in case you're using their data.
