This report focuses on information collected from farmers in each Member State through the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS), consisting of parcel and sub-parcel boundaries in the Geospatial Information System (GSAA)  details on land use, crops and animals in the Land Parcel Information System (LPIS), and eventually data on...

This report focuses on methods which can be used to estimate the area and GHG emissions of agroforestry in Europe. Multiple pressures on European Forests make it more important than ever to recognise the importance of Trees outside Forests (ToF), including agroforestry systems and woody landscape features, These should be...

This report describes the FAIR concept (GO FAIR 2024) and its main principles and how these were adapted to the agroforestry context onto the “FAIRness Scoring” (see section 2). FAIR principles are guidelines to enable digital resources to be more Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. Adapting these principles to specific contexts, such as...

The European Union dearly needs ways to evaluate the success of environmental and climate measures. Currently, each country, legal framework or sector uses its own indicators, and the data, although partly collected at the local level, is often reported only as aggregated data, at the scale of countries (NUTS0). This prevents local decision-makers...

In this preliminary action of the project, our goal is to identify the actors and flow of products and services both upstream and downstream from by the participatory analysis of value chain constraints for developing novel diversification systems. This report introduces and presents the work conducted to develop the multi-stakeholder action aimed at...

This report is relevant for the communication about the project and dissemination to all three stakeholders’ groups. It contains the information asked for in the EIP agri common format template.

The purpose of this report, produced by the DigitAF project, is to initiate the development of best practice guidelines on how certification and branding can improve the value and marketability of agroforestry products. The introduction explains the context of the report within the wider DigitAF project that is seeking to...

This report addresses Task 2.1 of the DigitAF project. Task 2.1 aims to better understand and optimise the technical, administrative, and financial aspects of installing and managing agroforestry in a farming landscape. In this report, we deal particularly with the financial aspects at farm level, which aims to enhance the quantification of the...

Six Living Labs (LL) were formed with members consisting of all actor groups to understand the needs of each actor groups, and to test and evaluate digital tools. A first step was to analyse the needs and wants of the members of these Living Labs and summarize the outcomes in this report.

This report is relevant for the communication about the project and dissemination to all three stakeholders’ groups. It contains the creation of three buyer personas representing the three stakeholders groups and more specifically:– Buyer persona “Policy actor Agnes”: represents policymakers and administrations concerned with applying agroforestry-related regulations, at regional, national and European levels–...

Agroforestry can enhance biodiversity conservation in agroecosystems, but it is still difficult to quantify such outputs. This study combines insights from meta-analyses, a stakeholder questionnaire, and an inventory of biodiversity assessment tools to develop a way to quantify biodiversity outcomes. Through meta-analyses, we evaluated the impact of agroforestry on biodiversity...

This report is relevant for the integration of knowledge and actions of all three stakeholders’ groups. It contains a Data collating plan which documents the choices made to allow collating data from different data sources.This data collating plan feeds into the broader objectives of task 4.2 which is: Evaluating and...

This report is relevant for actors developing and improving tools and models that can support the second stakeholders’ group. The extraction of relevant architectural traits from LiDAR scan data is useful for use in process-based models that have a simpler 3D implementation of trees (e.g., Hi-sAFe). These architectural traits can...

This document, Deliverable D2.1, deals with the design and implementation of a comprehensive survey to gather relevant data for the project's objectives and activities. While originally the deliverable was intended to focus on a specific survey on “technical & administrative issues”, it was agreed quite early in the project’s process...

This report summarises agroforestry related policies in the CAP Strategic plans of the 14 countries involved in the DigitAF Project. It has sections on: 1) Definitions of agroforestry, 2) Landscape features, 3) Definitions of permanent grassland, 4) Ecoschemes, 5) Rural development measures, 6) CAP Simplification Regulation 7) Nature Restoration Regulation,...

This report describes the progress towards the aim of developing a web-based European map of agroforestry, including suppliers and consultants.  This aim was achieved bearing in mind the following three points: Although there are existing mapping activities of agroforestry at a European level, such as the maps on the AGFORWARD...
