Summary: This Operational Group seeks to provide solutions to the problems associated with livestock activity in terms of its high impact on the carbon footprint caused by livestock management and agricultural management in pasture production. The operational group includes CLAS SAT (Central Lechera Asturiana SAT), COAPA (Union of Agri-Food Cooperatives of Asturias) and CETEMAS (Technological and Wood Center).

In this project, different algorithms based on remote sensor data will be developed with the objective of obtaining a solid cartographic base for the sustainable management of agroforestry property. In this way, work will be carried out on the automatic detection of coverage typologies, nitrogen deficiencies and quantification of carbon stock, which will serve as a basis for decision-making in terms of mitigation and adaptation to climate change, through the management of forestry systems, silvopastoral systems, grasslands and the promotion of joint property management practices.

General objective: Development of a property management tool, based on Geographic Information Systems, that allows for more efficient and sustainable management of agroforestry resources in terms of climate and environment.
