Afgrødeart

Afgrødeart is a Danish term used in agriculture to classify the cultivated plants grown for harvest. It denotes the general kind of crop, typically at the level of species or cultivar group, rather than a single cultivar. In practice, afgrødeart is used in farm planning, crop rotation, and statistical reporting to group crops such as cereals, root crops, oilseeds, and legumes.

The term can cover species (for example, wheat, barley, and maize) and, where appropriate, broader cultivar groups within a species. More precise designations like sort (variety) or hybrid are used in breeding and seed markets, but afgrødeart remains a higher-level category for planning and statistics.

Afgrødearter are recorded by agricultural authorities to track planted areas, estimate production, and inform policy tools such as subsidies and risk assessments. Data on afgrødeart support decisions on input use, rotation schedules, and market planning, and reflect changes in climate, technology, and demand.

This is a language-specific concept used primarily in Danish agricultural contexts, serving as a practical classification rather than a strict taxonomic term.
