Disclaimer:
- The objective of the HNV farmland map produced by EEA is to estimate the presence likelihood of HNV farmland within Europe using existing Europe-wide datasets. The EEA points out that the existing datasets may have drawbacks for HNV farmland identification and recommends therefore that the map be used as a proxy for the distribution of HNV farmland at European level appropriate for assessment purposes only.

Additional information
The HNV farmland map aims to show the distribution and extent of farmland that is of inherent biodiversity value, and to enable further analyses on spatial and time trends.
The data set uses the JRC/EEA methodology described in Paracchini, M. L.; Petersen, J.-E.; Hoogeveen, Y.; Bamps, C.; Burfield, I. and van Swaay, C., 2008. High Nature Value Farmland in Europe. An estimate of the distribution patterns on the basis of land cover and biodiversity data. JRC Scientific and Technical Reports. European Communities, Luxembourg. The first version of the HNV data set for 2000 (based on the CORINE land cover 2000 status layer) is available by contacting Maria-Luisa Paracchini of the JRC directly: maria-luisa.paracchini@ec.europa.eu
The updates available under this link follow the initial JRC/EEA methodology from 2008; however, country coverage and the HNV farmland time series were expanded over time. The main focus of the 2012 exercise was to update the HNV farmland dataset based on the CLC 2006 data and to include countries previously not part of the European HNV farmland assessment.
The update from 2017 includes a recalculation of years 2000 and 2012 on the basis of the Corine Land Cover accounting layer.
