EuroCrops: The Largest Harmonized Open Crop Dataset Across the European Union
Technical University of Munich| Source | Data |
EuroCrops, currently hosted by Technical University of Munich, is a valuable resource comprising geo-referenced agricultural cropland data from 16 European Union (EU) countries, along with information about the specific crop species cultivated in these regions. These crop annotations are based on information provided by farmers who receive subsidies under the European Commission's common agricultural policy (CAP). Over the past 1.5 years, dedicated efforts have been made to collect individual national crop datasets and translate crop classes into English. These data have been integrated into a newly developed hierarchical crop and agriculture taxonomy (HCAT).
EuroCrops is accessible to the public and is continuously improved with the active engagement of its user community. This resource serves as a valuable tool for researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders in the agricultural sector, providing insights into crop distribution and farming practices across the EU.
