Short summary

The Eurocrops v2.0 dataset contains several years of farmer crop declarations from 16 Member States for the Common Agricultural Policy. These data were harmonized with a crop taxonomy and then linked to other classification systems including agricultural statistics and remotely sensed products. This dataset can support researchers and policy makers in tracking changes over time, calculating crop rotations, for national comparisons, for evaluating official statistics and for remote sensing.
