2016
Cropping systems can be based on a single crop (monoculture) or on many (polyculture), including intercrops and rotations.

At this moment the European wide farm information is only available at a rather aggregated administrative level. The suggested allocation approach adds a spatial dimension to all sample farms making it possible to aggregate farm types ...
