Good Practice - Project
GIS-ELA - Geo Information Systems for the Austrian Agriculture
Precision farming has great economic and environmental potentials and a project was set up to promote its use in the Austrian context.
General information
RDP Priority
- P5. Resource efficiency and climate
RDP Focus Area
- 5B: Energy use efficiency
RDP Measure
- M01: Knowledge transfer & information actions
Summary
Only 6% of the Austrian farmers are using data and GNSS/GPS-based precision farming, which is very popular across the world. Therefore the economic and environmental benefits of precision farming are not being exploited. The project “GIS-ELA” will evaluate the potentials of precision farming technologies for Austria and promote its use.
Results
Testing of the technical equipment on the pilot farms as a reference for Austrian farmers.
Promoter
Chamber of Agriculture Lower-Austria (LKNÖ) and 8 pilot farms from 4 provinces
