Data from the Agricultural Register, formerly SCB Atlas Agriculture, 1951-1995

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, together with the National Board of Agriculture and the Swedish Board of Agriculture, ordered processed data from the Swedish Agricultural Register from Statistics Sweden in something called SCB-Atlas Agriculture. The work was part of the LiM project, a follow-up and evaluation of the environmental impact of the 1990 food policy. The aim was to monitor and analyse changes in agriculture from the post-war period to the 1990s. All data are converted into the 1992 administrative breakdown in order to achieve comparability over time. The Handbook to SCB-Atlas Agriculture contains a full description of all the detailed variables and also describes how SCB has proceeded with recalculations, etc.
