R project to assess the environmental impacts of the main Spanish crops at a regional level

The collated data correspond to the parameters to estimate the resources consumption and the emissions to the environment from the main farming activities (resources consumption and emissions from infrastructure building and management, fertiliser and pesticide production, on-field fertiliser and pesticide emissions, fuel consumption from machinery use, and irrigation), together with the environmental impacts of the unit processes (e.g. electricity mix, production of agricultural inputs) required to assess the environmental impacts from a panel of reference holdings at the main NUTS 2 in Spain. These data were compiled in a set of excel sheets and subsequently operated (tidying, transforming, visualisation and modelling operations) by developing a set of scripts using R programming language and the RStudio interface.
