NIVA considers the farm registry as an administrative, public, and informative tool that can centralise and unify agricultural information. It allows the Administration and the farmers to query all the data about farms and their agricultural parcels and facilitate administrative procedures. As such, the farm registry should be linked to the future IACS and should be updated continuously.
This product attempts to build a data model to exchange information among the existing datasets related to IACS and other systems and complete a farm registry.
The goals of the farm registry model are short and long term:
In the short term, the tool will:
- Analyse the existing datasets related to IACS.
- Develop an architecture integrated with other systems (e.g., FaST, official agricultural registers, official statistical surveys, and intelligent farming applications).
- A multi-actor approach.
- Propose farm registry data model for agricultural areas.
In the long term, the tool will:
- Prepare for the new CAP by making extensive use of information, accessing different datasets, making the control of the claims easier, and supporting a future seamless claims system.
When finished in mid 2022, the farm registry will connect databases, contain information on personal data of farm owners, data on the farm and the agricultural plots that make up the farm. The latter will include the geospatial delimitation of the farm, rainfed or irrigated crop, seedtime, use of fertilisers and phytosanitary products, especially the product, dose and application date. A critical component of this tool is the unification of the different classifications of crop types across the Member States and the different EU and international databases.
