Landbruget.dk

Making Danish agricultural data transparent and universally accessible.

Landbruget.dk organizes data from 18+ Danish government sources into a single, queryable platform. We collect, clean, and publish agricultural, environmental, and regulatory data so that journalists, researchers, and citizens can hold the industry accountable.

Tech Stack

Layer	Technology	Purpose
Frontend	Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4	Web applications
Maps	MapLibre GL JS, PMTiles	Geospatial visualization

Data Storage	Cloudflare R2	Raw + processed data
CI/CD	GitHub Actions	Pipeline orchestration
Deployment	Vercel	Frontend hosting
Linting	oxlint (frontend), ruff (backend)	Code quality
Testing	Playwright (frontend), pytest (backend)	Quality assurance

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Python 3.11
• uv
• Supabase CLI

Workspace Setup

./scripts/setup-worktree.sh

This installs frontend dependencies, Playwright browsers, and the shared Python workspace via uv, pinned to Python 3.11 via .python-version, then verifies npm test, npm run lint, and uv run pytest can resolve their local tooling.

Frontend

cd frontend
cp .env.example .env.local    # Configure Supabase credentials
npm ci
npm run dev                   # http://localhost:3000

Data Explorer

cd data-explorer
cp .env.local.example .env.local  # Add Google API key for Gemini
npm install
npm run dev                       # http://localhost:3000

Backend Pipelines

uv sync --python 3.11 --all-packages --group dev

# Run a specific pipeline
cd backend/pipelines/unified_pipeline
uv run python -m unified_pipeline bronze --source cadastral

Data Architecture

Medallion Architecture

All data flows through three layers:

• Bronze — Raw data preserved exactly as received from sources. No transformations.
• Silver — Cleaned, validated, and standardized. Type coercion, deduplication, format normalization.
• Gold — Analysis-ready. Joins across datasets on CVR/CHR/BFE identifiers, derived metrics.

Coordinate Reference System

All geospatial processing uses EPSG:25832 (UTM 32N, meters). Data is transformed to EPSG:4326 (WGS84) only at the final Supabase upload step.

Data Identifiers

All datasets join on one or more of:

Identifier	Name	Format	Purpose
CVR	Company Registration	8 digits	Links to companies
CHR	Central Herd Register	6 digits	Links to livestock herds
BFE	Cadastral ID	Variable	Links to land parcels

Data Sources

We collect from 18+ official Danish government sources including:

• Landbrugsstyrelsen — Field boundaries, crop data, agricultural subsidies
• Fødevarestyrelsen (FVM) — Livestock registry (CHR), veterinary data, pig movements
• Miljøstyrelsen — Pesticide database (BMD), environmental company registry (DMA)
• Geodatastyrelsen — Cadastral data, administrative boundaries
• Danmarks Statistik — Agricultural statistics
• DMI — Weather and climate data
• Arbejdstilsynet — Workplace safety inspections
• Datafordeleren — Property ownership data
• GEUS — Borehole pesticide data (Dataverse)

See docs/PIPELINE_INDEX.md for the full pipeline documentation.

Data

The MIT license does not cover the data. This includes both:

• Upstream data ingested from Danish public-sector sources (Landbrugsstyrelsen, CHR Registry, Geodatastyrelsen, Miljøstyrelsen, Danmarks Statistik, DMI, and others — see docs/PIPELINE_INDEX.md), and
• Derived datasets we publish to the Cloudflare R2 CDN (JSON, Parquet, PMTiles).

Each dataset retains the licensing terms of its original source — typically Danish government open-data terms or, where applicable, a Creative Commons license. Where the source is not openly licensed, the original copyright and conditions of the issuing public authority apply. Reusing data from this project requires complying with the upstream source's terms.

See /om-os for the project's overall data policy and /kilder for per-source attribution.
