Dear subscriber of DataM newsletters,
Here you have a resume of relevant events in our website, after last bulletin of the 25th of May.
The EU agricultural balance sheets
First and foremost, from July the balance sheets has a new methodological report, replacing the first edition of five years before. Besides taking into account the many changes occurred during this period, this report analyses the usage and diffusion of the tool, the communication challenges, the publication as open and FAIR data, the API for allowing machines to interact with the data, and the perspectives for future improvements.
Second, we have now an on-line form available at https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/EU_estimated_agricultural_balance_sheets, where you can express your say on the balance sheets.
Finally, after the deep renewal of Spring 2023, we had two releases: the edition Summer 2023 and Autumn 2023. About new features, we would like to highlight the expansion of the database to two furhter agricultural sectors: Peaches & Nectarines and Tomatoes.
A complete list of what is new in the balance sheets is always updated here.
The "CAP Strategic Plans" data
From 10th of August, DataM hosts the "CSP Master file".
The file, created for research purposes, contains data compiled to facilitate the analysis of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for the period 2023-2027.
Please note that regular CSP updates can be found at the Agri-food Data Portal, CAP Indicators 2023-2027: https://agridata.ec.europa.eu/extensions/DataPortal/pmef_indicators.html

Bioeconomy
On 28th July, the DataM product "EU biomass flows" was updated with data 2020. See here.
On 7th November DataM released a new pilot product called "BioRegEU" with the aim to fill the data gap on the socioeconomic contribution of the bioeconomy at the subnational level. See here.
We also would like to highlight the recent publication of various biomass reports by the Joint Research Centre and the European Environment Agency: see here to know more.
Resilience Dashboards
Resilience Dashboards interactive page is powered by DataM and embedded in the Europa webiste at this link.
As every year, data of the Resilience Dashboards were updated; the version 2023 takes on board data up to 2021.
The update is in two steps: in May the EU data, in September/October the global data.
The Spring version came with a methodology report where you can see refinements and adjustments to selected indicators, to further align the dashboards with the information set used in the Country Reports of the European Semester.
For Summer release, a methodology report is issued on top of the Spring version.
Publications
Please look to the renewed dashboard of DataM publications, where you can always check the issue of scientific outcomes of the JRC and partners in the field of agri-food/resource economics.
It is always updated and available by clicking on "Publications" on the main menu of the website.

We have three important highlights about our website: find them below, followed by a resume of all other recent developments.
1 - The EU agricultural balance sheets
The issue Spring 2023 of 5th April brings a product completely renewed in the look, and the addition of apples and oranges sectors. A complete list of the improvements is in this news.
The growth of the balance sheets continues! Next issue of Summer 2023 will go together with a new methodological report with the plans for further improving this service. The app will provide you also with a form to post user feedbacks. We will keep you updated
2 - The European Commission toolbox for using less chemical pesticides
Published in on last 28 February, this tool is already placed within the DataM products with most hits. An interest demonstrated, and favoured, by the ~70 thematic websites that published its link.
The toolbox is accompanied by a study commissioned by the EC Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural development, following a request from the European Parliament, which aims to provide knowledge on the most promising ways that could help farmers, advisors, and policymakers to reduce the dependency on pesticide use across the EU, as advocated in the European Commission’s Farm to Fork Strategy and in the context of the European Green Deal.
Know more from the Europa website's news.
3 - The bioeconomy in 2020: Jobs and wealth in the EU bioeconomy update
This flagship product of DataM and of the Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy was updated on 27th April with the most recent available estimates (2020) in collaboration with the nova-Institute.
In 2020, the bioeconomy in the EU provided 17.2 million jobs in biomass producing and converting sectors, which is about 8.3% of total employment. The value added reached 665 billion EUR, corresponding to a share of 4.9% of the total value added. Compared to 4.75% in 2019, the bioeconomy as a whole has shown a higher resilience than the rest of the economy.
A new technical report related to this data release is under finalization and will be announced in the KCB and DataM.
