LANDSUPPORT is a research and development project funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 program.

The 48-month project is being coordinated by the University of Naples, Frederick II University. The project is a collaboration between 17 institutions from 9 countries, including iASK, and has a total budget of €7 million.

The project aims to develop a web-based spatial decision support system to support agricultural and environmental policy:

to promote sustainable agriculture and forestry,
evaluating trade-offs between land use alternatives, and
support the development and implementation of European land-use policies.

The system developed will provide land use planning information at multiple geographical scales and at multiple levels of the decision-making system, from local to EU level. Solutions at national level are operational in Hungary, Austria and Italy, and are being tested in several EU and non-EU countries, e.g. Tunisia and Malaysia.

The development has resulted in a number of ‘smart’ spatial information operational tools that can be used to facilitate and inform decision-making for specific innovative scientific, technical, environmental and land policy objectives.

The decision support system is easily accessible and usable by anyone, free of charge, after a simple registration.

More information and the system are available at www.landsupport.eu 

The Filtering Capacity Tool is now online and ready to test!

8th April 2020

https://www.landsupport.eu/dss-platform
It’s a demo version running for two #landsupport pilot areas in Austria and Italy. It is based on a model estimating the filtering capacity of soils of pesticides and fertilizers, developed by Isafom in collaboration with CRISP, University of Milan, Austrian Environment Agency and DISTAR-University of Naples.

The Forest Modelling Lab is now online!

7th April 2020

Developed by LANDSUPPORT partners Isafom in collaboration with CRISP-UNINA and University of Tuscia, it simulates the response of forest ecosystems to management practices, perturbations, climate scenarios. Check it out, and tell researchers what you think –> https://www.forest-modelling-lab.com

Biomass Potential Productivity Tool developed

6th April 2020

The Biomass Potential Productivity Tool is based on the ARMOSA Model, developed by #landsupport partners Isafom, University of Milan and University of Naples Federico II. Below, a scheme showing input and output parameters of the model.

The successful EU Landsupport project for land managers, in which the iASK is involved, can continue – interview with the project leader prof. Fabio Terribile.
