| Summary: | The European Commission fosters the opening and reusing of the Integrated Administration and Control Systems (IACS) administrative data from the European paying agencies as useful tools for monitoring the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) performances. In this scenario, the Open IACS project goes in the same direction by demonstrating the reuse of the IACS data for computing CAP indicators and for agri-environmental analysis. This work reports the methods adopted in Italy to process and harmonize IACS geospatial data required to compute two Context indicators for CAP: Utilized Agricultural Area (UAA) and share of UAA by land use types. These are defined as context indicators within the EU framework for assessing CAP performances and are generally computed with statistical surveys from Eurostat. The indicators are computed for a study area located in South Italy and statistical summaries are reported. |
