Realisations
Instead of hardcoding implementation schemas here, SPHERE separates semantic meaning from dataset implementation. See the following realisations for how to access this data:
- [[Realisations/OpenStreetMap_land_use_agriculture|OpenStreetMap —
landuse=*]]
Geometry Representations
| Rep ID | Source Dataset | Geometry Type | Native CRS | Suitable For | Not Suitable For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
agri_osm_polygons | OSM via Geofabrik | Polygon | EPSG:4326 | Area totals, land-use share, overlap with protection zones | Crop-yield modelling and subsidy compliance |
Limitations
- Agricultural classes are broad and not crop-specific.
- Mapping quality depends on local contributors.
- For policy-grade agriculture statistics, use national LPIS or equivalent.
