Harmonised Europe-wide map of agricultural land use systems (ESDAC/JRC), derived by integrating the Copernicus High Resolution Layers on grassland and cropland (2017-2021). Classifies EEA38 agricultural land into level-2 classes: permanent grassland, permanent crops, arable systems, ley cropping systems, land use change, inconsistencies and data gaps. 10 m resolution.

ESDAC/JRC Harmonized Europe-wide Agricultural Land Use Systems (cropping systems level 2, 2017-2021 synthesis), from the integration and harmonization of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service High Resolution Layers (grassland GRA, herbaceous HER, crop types CTY, secondary crops CPSCT). The 10 m EEA38 GeoTIFF tiles were mosaicked into a single EU-wide Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (EPSG:3035); per-AOI the geo3bee EuAgriLandUseReader windows the COG, remaps the 31 source classes to 17 display classes (data-gap classes 81-89 recovered to their substantive class, inconsistencies 71-75 and unclassified 91/99 collapsed) and produces per-class area cards.
