National Agricultural Landscapes Inventories

This is a portal for surveys investigating the properties and condition of arable land.

  • The arable land surveys provide a quantitative and spatially representative description of the condition of Swedish agricultural land.
  • We investigate crop quality in relation to soil condition, cultivation measures, and farming practices.
