Method and caveats

How the figures are calculated

Declared area is allocated by proportional overlap and largest remainder. A field is counted once in the municipality containing its largest overlap.

Effective crop diversity is exp(Shannon), calculated from classified area in the broad editorial crop groups.

All years use the pinned 2026 DAGI municipality boundaries. The national figure is calculated from unique fields and is not the sum of municipalities.

The crop groups are openlanddata presentation groups, not an official SGAV classification.

The figures describe aggregate declared areas for each year and cannot be used to track crop rotation on individual fields.
