The register contains records of fields used for agricultural activities and crops. The GLR is maintained by the Danish Agency for Green Land Restructuring and Aquatic Environment.
The land is registered in the Cadastre (Matriklen), which is administered by the Danish Geodata Agency, as is the Ownership Register (Ejerfortegnelsen), which describes ownership of real property and, where information is missing, is supplemented by the Land Registration Register (Tinglysningsregistret), administered by the Danish Courts.
