Research and agriculture for a better world

LPIS stands for "Land Parcel Identification System and the «LPIS Sustainability Compass», is an online spatial tool that provides a focal point to available LPIS data, provided via Web Feature Service (WFS), integrated with Copernicus data (provided via its API) while delivering seamless, on the fly, calculated statistical insights from these datasets related to the selected LPIS plot/farm data, and providing unique contextual data about other plots/farms in the neighborhood from Copernicus services.

As part of the EU project DigitAF, a virtual space for agroforesters focused on digital tools is under development. The Questions and Answers tool is part of such umbrella and invites you to ask questions, where a community of agroforesters will interact with your question. Just register and throw your question. Try to answer what you can!

As part of the work developed in the AGROMIX EU HORIZON project (2020-2024), this tool aims to provide broader spatial contexts where agroforestry (AF) and mixed farming (MF) could be implemented to increase the environmental resilience of agricultural systems and provide effective climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. This tool is supported by this report [add DOI link here] which describes the backend methodological of deliverable 3.3, the AGROMIX Land Use Change Interactive Map, so called LUCIM.

As part of the Re-Livestock project we are responsible for coordinating data collection from innovative livestock farms. The aim of the data collection is to characterise and monitor the performance of the mitigation and adaptation potential of each farm. The data feeds into other tasks in the project, including a Multicriteria Assessment of farm sustainability that will identify potential trade-offs between sustainability dimensions. The results of the assessments will also be used in farmer workshops to stimulate discussions around sustainability and resilience against climate change. The on-line tool  is multi-lingual, and adapts to the farm system being assessed, by filtering out questions and categories that aren’t relevant, being also interesting for farmers self assessment.
