Agriculture & Food Production

Agricultural markets worldwide are facing turbulence due to increasing demand and food/non-food conflicts. Production risks are also becoming even more pronounced due to weather events and climate change. Balanced food production, distribution and pricing are gaining increased importance, for economic, political and humanitarian reasons, and impose global challenges regarding agricultural policies. GAF has been providing leading geospatial services and solutions for agricultural administrations and agencies for more than two decades and through three reforms of the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

In this context, we are controlling subsidy declarations of farmers with remote sensing, we take care of land parcel identification systems (LPIS), and the implementation of most components for IACS including any application and technology-oriented evolution of systems. Our solutions provide the data and tools required for conducting adaptive farm management in the face of changing environmental conditions, monitoring crop development, supporting decision making in precision agriculture and securing farmers’ income by enabling submission of standardised subsidy declarations.
