RESUMEN
The current agroecological transition of agriculture pushes to a diversification of cropping systems, which requires quantified data describing crop successions. "Crop successions indicators 2015-2021" dataset provides a set of twenty synthesis indicators to characterize crop diversity, crop seasonality, particular components of crop successions and duration of crop rotations. Indicators are computed for a seven-year period from 2015 to 2021. Data source are raw crop sequences open access dataset. Indicators are available for municipalities, departments, regions and the whole mainland France, for arable land. A group of experts in agronomy has been associated to this work, in order to define relevant themes, relevant indicators and relevant indicator definitions. This dataset could be useful to characterize agricultural practices on a given territory, for researchers, local actors as decentralized state services, water agencies, territorial collectivities, chambers of agriculture, or agricultural cooperatives. Proposed indicators could be useful for policy makers to monitor the evolution of cultivation practices, in order to design, implement or evaluate measures targeting cultivation practices.
