Short summary

Eurostat and the Joint Research Centre developed a new methodology to make geospatial data from agricultural census available to users while ensuring that no confidential information from individuals is disclosed. The geospatial data presented in the article correspond to the contextual indicators of the monitoring framework of the Common Agricultural Policy. Our exploratory analysis reveals several interesting patterns which contribute to the broader debate on the future of European agriculture.
