“New IACS Vision In Action” (NIVA)

The discussion on the modernisation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is in full progress and one element is how the CAP will stimulate and benefit from ongoing digitisation of the agricultural sector: it reduces administrative burden and digitisation is expecting to improve the sustainability and competitiveness of the sector. CAP modernisation also offers potential for data use and reuse and thus improves accessibility of CAP data for monitoring the societal benefits of agriculture towards climate, environment and rural development. The ongoing operationalisation of the Copernicus satellite programme and the use of Earth Observation data for many aspects in agriculture is a very prominent innovation with unprecedented impact on the monitoring of agricultural land.

OBJECTIVES

The overall objective of NIVA: the project aims to modernise IACS by making efficient use of digital solutions and e-tools, by creating reliable methodologies and harmonised data sets for monitoring agricultural performance while reducing administrative burden for farmers, paying agencies and other stakeholders. This overall objective is made operational in the specific objectives:

1. Integrate and reuse IACS evolutions based on open standards and common services 2. Build on farmers’ acceptance of the Smart Monitoring methodology 3. Reduce the gap between current use and potential broader use of IACS data 4. Create a permanent exchange platform for discussion and exchange   Read more…

CHALENGES

The project NIVA starts from the premise that innovative new developments of IACS responding to new digital trends can lead to a more sustainable agricultural production across EU Member States and can assist in a reduction of the administrative burden to actors and stakeholders. This involves three main challenges:

1. Absorbing innovations to simplify the governance 2. Reducing socio-economic and administrative burden to farmers 3. Reducing the gap between IACS data use and potential broader uses Read more…
