The dataset contains the original research data belonging to the research article "EU-wide mapping of ‘Protected Designations of Origin’ food products (PDOs) reveals correlations with social-ecological landscape values" (Flinzberger et al. 2022: https://doi.org/10.1007/s13593-022-00778-4).

Based on the mapping of 638 food products registered within the EU as 'Protected Designation of Origin' (PDO), the first excel file "EU28_all_PDO_products_per_NUTS3.xlsx" shows the distribution of PDO-labeled products across the EU28 NUTS-3 regions. All NUTS-3 regions are listed once for each PDO product they contain (as by 30 June 2020).

The second excel file "PDO_scores_and_social_ecological_indicator_data.xlsx" includes the accumulated numbers of PDOs per NUTS-3 region (called PDO score) as registered by 30 June 2020. The PDO score is presented for all food products combined, and for four major food categories separately. Further, the excel file contains all aggregated values of social-ecological indicators (including their sources), used for the correlation analysis between PDO scores and social-ecological characteristics in the above-mentioned article.

Code explanations can be found on the second sheet of each excel file.
