Following our Europe-LAND expert workshop on IACS data in February 2025, we launched a dedicated IACS Data Community of Practice. This self-sustaining community of 60+ members connects researchers, policy makers and practitioners together, encouraging shared insights and collaborative research related to agricultural land use data.
With members from over 10 countries, this community is dynamic and ever-growing. Interested in staying informed about the latest developments in IACS data research and connecting with likeminded experts? Join now!
Through regular virtual and in-person meetings, the various IACS data topics you can contribute to include:
- Publications
- IACS Special Issue on journal
- IACS User guides
- Produce policy briefs and expert opinions
- Compile a list of interventions (in IACS or AEMS)
- Compare ‘optimal’ vs. real-world implementation of measures
- Utilize EU-wide IACS data for insights on crop diversity and rotation
- Explore new proposals (e.g., on nitrogen use and land-use intensity)
- Establish a strong network of IACS data experts
- Expand and enhance the IACS database
- Integrate and enrich datasets through harmonization
- Identify and respond to relevant funding opportunities
