Glyphosate Usage Analysis

# Filter for glyphosate products
glyphosate = df[

Spatial Analysis Tips

CRS Handling

All geometry stored in EPSG:4326 (WGS84). For Danish projections:

# Convert to Danish UTM
gdf = gdf.to_crs('EPSG:25832')

# Calculate areas in meters
gdf['area_m2'] = gdf.geometry.area

Buffer Analysis

# Create 100m buffer around BNBO zones
bnbo_buffered = bnbo.copy()
bnbo_buffered = bnbo_buffered.to_crs('EPSG:25832')  # UTM for meters
bnbo_buffered['geometry'] = bnbo_buffered.buffer(100)
bnbo_buffered = bnbo_buffered.to_crs('EPSG:4326')  # Back to WGS84
