conn = duckdb.connect()
setup_duckdb_cloud_auth(conn)

# Read FVM marker data for 2024
df = conn.execute("""
    SELECT * FROM read_parquet('r2://landbruget-data/silver/fvm_marker_2024/2025-01-10/data.parquet')

print(f"Total fields: {len(company_fields)}")
print(f"Total area: {company_fields['area_ha'].sum():.2f} ha")

Calculate Organic Farming Percentage by Municipality

# Group by municipality and organic status
organic_stats = df.groupby(['municipality', 'is_organic']).agg({
    'area_ha': 'sum'
}).unstack(fill_value=0)

organic_stats.columns = ['conventional', 'organic']
organic_stats['organic_pct'] = (
    organic_stats['organic'] /
    (organic_stats['conventional'] + organic_stats['organic']) * 100
)
organic_stats = organic_stats.sort_values('organic_pct', ascending=False)

Get Production Estimates for a Crop

# Read gold production data
production = conn.execute("""
    SELECT * FROM read_parquet('r2://landbruget-data/gold/field_production_2024/2025-01-10/data.parquet')

print(f"Average yield: {wheat['yield_estimate_hkg_ha'].mean():.2f} hkg/ha")
print(f"Total production: {wheat['production_estimate_hkg'].sum():.2f} hkg")

Crop Diversity Analysis

# Count unique crops per CVR
crop_diversity = df.groupby('cvr_number').agg({
    'crop_name': 'nunique',
    'area_ha': 'sum'
}).reset_index()
crop_diversity.columns = ['cvr_number', 'crop_count', 'total_area']
crop_diversity = crop_diversity.sort_values('crop_count', ascending=False)

Read Geometry with DuckDB Spatial

# Read with geometry via DuckDB
gdf = conn.execute("""
    SELECT * FROM read_parquet('r2://landbruget-data/silver/fvm_marker_2024/2025-01-10/data.parquet')

Data Quality Notes

FVM Marker

• Update frequency: Annual (new year data released ~Q2)
• Coverage: All registered agricultural fields in Denmark
• Years available: 2008-2025 (varies by data source)
• Geometry: WKB format, EPSG:4326

Field Production

• Update frequency: Annual after harvest statistics
• Coverage: Production estimates for all registered fields
• Caveat: Yield estimates are modeled, not measured

Cadastral

• Update frequency: Weekly
• Coverage: All cadastral parcels in Denmark
• Note: Use for property boundaries, not field boundaries

Related Skills

Yearly Data Pattern

For datasets with yearly data, use this pattern:

# Query specific year
year = 2024
path = f'silver/fvm_marker_{year}/*/data.parquet'

# Query all years (use with caution - large data)
path = 'silver/fvm_marker_*/*/data.parquet'
