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

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:
