A portolan/stac catalog of every known available non-AI generated field boundary.
Since 2020, the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries has been publishing a more extensive set of data related to agricultural use plots (from the 2008 campaign). From 2023, the downloadable dataset of agricultural use plots will also include the specialization given by the company (= company typology) and that is given to the plots of the company. Based on the typology, the companies are divided into 4 major specializations: arable farming, horticulture, livestock farming and mixed farms. The specialization of each company is calculated annually according to a European method and is based on the standard output of the various agricultural productions on the company. It is therefore an economic specialization and not a reflection of all agricultural production on the company.
Licentie modellicentie-gratis-hergebruik/v1.0 <https://data.vlaanderen.be/id/licentie/modellicentie-gratis-hergebruik/v1.0>)Browse this collection in the data browser, or start from the AGENTS.md for tested queries.
The latest edition is also available at a stable path: be_vlg/latest/be_vlg.parquet. All editions together through the S3 glob s3://ftw/harmonized-field-data/be_vlg/year=*/*.parquet (see the AGENTS.md for the DuckDB setup; plain https cannot expand *).
Properties that are the same for every field are stored once, in the GeoParquet file's collection metadata rather than as columns (latest edition shown; a client reading only the table will not see them):

This catalog is a mirror: the data is produced and licensed by Agentschap Landbouw & Zeevisserij (Government) and republished here as cloud-native GeoParquet and PMTiles by Fields of the World. Each edition was downloaded from the source and converted with fiboa-cli 0.21.0, vecorel-cli 0.2.15:
The conversion is deterministic and lives in fiboa-cli; changes to how a column is mapped are made there, not in this catalog.
