Basisregistraties
The Basic Crop Parcel Registry (BRP) course covers the content and background of the Basic Crop Parcel Registry and demonstrates how this dataset is used for analyses of agricultural land use. During the course, participants will explore the structure of the registry and complete various practical exercises using BRP data.
The Basic Register of Crop Parcels (BRP) is an important geodataset that provides insight into agricultural land use in the Netherlands. This registry records agricultural parcels with information on their location, boundaries, and the crop grown on each parcel. This creates a detailed picture of how the Dutch landscape is used for agricultural purposes. This information is essential for analyses of agriculture, water quality, environmental management, and spatial planning.
At Geo-ICT, we understand the importance of reliable and well-structured geodata within the system of basic registries. Our BRP course has been developed to provide insight into the structure, content, and applications of this registry. During the course, you will learn how the BRP is structured and how this dataset can be used to analyze agricultural land use and policy issues.
What makes the BRP unique is its nationwide coverage and the annual updating of the data. Agricultural parcels are registered annually and linked to specific crops. This creates a consistent and up-to-date dataset suitable for research, monitoring, and policy analysis. The registry contains hundreds of crop categories, making it a key resource for understanding changes in the agricultural landscape.
In the BRP course, we delve deeply into the possibilities of this dataset. You will learn how the data is structured, how to analyze crop parcels, and how to combine this information with other geodata. This will give you insight into agricultural patterns, changes in land use, and the role of geodata in agricultural policy.
For the practical exercises, we use the open-source software package QGIS. Prior knowledge of QGIS is not required, but it is helpful.

Contact usOn the first day, you will learn about the background and purpose of the Basic Register of Agricultural Parcels (BRP). We will discuss how this register is compiled and the role it plays within the Dutch system of geodata and agricultural policy. We will also explain how agricultural parcels are registered and which organizations are involved in managing the dataset.
In addition, we will examine the structure of the BRP data. You will learn which attributes are included in the dataset, how crop codes are used, and how parcel geometries are constructed. We will also discuss how the registry is updated annually and how this information is used in analyses of agricultural land use.
During practical exercises, you will explore the dataset and learn how BRP data can be imported and viewed in GIS software.
The second day focuses on practical work with the BRP. You will learn how to import, visualize, and analyze the dataset using GIS software such as QGIS.
We will cover topics such as selecting specific crops, calculating parcel areas, and analyzing spatial patterns in agricultural land use. You will also learn how to filter BRP data and combine it with other geographic datasets.
Through practical exercises, geoanalysis is applied to gain insight into, for example, the distribution of certain crops or differences in land use between regions.
On the third day, we will explore applications of the Basic Register of Agricultural Parcels in research, policy, and monitoring. You will learn how BRP data can be used to analyze agricultural systems, changes in land use, and environmental issues.
We will also focus on combining BRP with other datasets, such as satellite imagery, soil maps, and environmental data. This creates new opportunities for monitoring agriculture and analyzing spatial developments.
The course concludes with a number of practical case studies in which participants independently perform analyses using BRP data and interpret the results.
Upon completion of the Basic Crop Parcel Registry (BRP) course, you will be able to:
