The Canary Islands Crop Map is a cartographic dataset developed by the Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Water of the Government of the Canary Islands, to understand the reality of the available agricultural surface of the Canary Islands. This tool has been developed from 1998 to the present.

There are several crop maps for each of the islands, which allow us to see the temporal and spatial evolution of the cultivated areas of the islands in recent years. All this means that the Canary Islands Crop Map is a basic tool for decision-making in present and future regional agricultural policy, as well as being a basic source for the preservation of agricultural land in the field of territorial planning.

The data of the Canary Islands Crop Map have been published on the open data portal of the Government of the Canary Islands (https://datos.canarias.es/catalogos/general/dataset/mapa-de-cultivos-de-canarias) and in datos gob (https://datos.gob.es/es/catalogo/a05003638-mapa-de-cultivos-de-canarias1), this work having been addressed within the Strategic Plan for Innovation and Continuous Improvement of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries.

The latest edition is also available at a stable path: es_cn/latest/es_cn.parquet. All editions together through the S3 glob s3://ftw/harmonized-field-data/es_cn/year=*/*.parquet (see the AGENTS.md for the DuckDB setup; plain https cannot expand *).

Columns

Column	Type	Description
`crop:code`	string	The crop code, from the code list of the source. (spec)
`crop:name`	string	Crop name in the original language. (spec)
`collection`	string	The identifier of the collection. (spec)
`admin_island`	string	Island name (source column `ISLA_NA`, per the fiboa data survey)
`id`	string	An identifier for the field. (spec)
`metrics:area`	float	Area of the field, in square meters (m²). Must be > 0 and <= 1,000,000,000. (spec)
`geometry`	binary	A geometry that reflects the footprint of the field, usually a Polygon. Stored in the source CRS (see `proj:code`), not reprojected. (spec)
`determination:datetime`	timestamp[ms, tz=UTC]	The last timestamp at which the field did exist and was observed. (spec)
`bbox`	struct<xmin: double, ymin: double, xmax: double, ymax: double>	The bounding box of the field. Per-feature covering column (GeoParquet 1.1), in the source CRS. (spec)

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):

admin:subdivision_code: CB

This catalog is a mirror: the data is produced and licensed by Gobierno de Canarias - Consejería de Agricultura, Ganadería, Pesca y Soberanía Alimentaria 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.
