Agricultural parcel containing spatial data

The agricultural parcels are a year-by-year data set containing the agricultural parcels in the annual aid application.

A agricultural parcel is defined as a continuous area of a single reference parcel where a single crop, a mixture of crops or a mixture of crops is grown, set aside or used for a specific purpose. A reference parcel may have one or more agricultural parcels. A agricultural parcel may belong to only one reference parcel. The boundaries of the agricultural parcels, and hence their areas, may vary from year to year within the reference plot.

The aim of the definition of valuable data sets (EU) 2023/138 has been to ensure that the most socially potential public data are reusable.

The Food Authority is concerned with the theme Spatial data: reference parcels and agricultural parcels

From the 2023 data onwards, the Food Authority will add attribute information to the published data as follows:
