HOLOSEU: A Comprehensive Digital Platform for Land Use Planning, Carbon Footprinting, and Decision-Making in European Agriculture
Alternative Farm Configuration – Carbon Footprinting & Reporting – Farm Profitability Analysis – Result-based Payment – Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation
Building Europe's Smart Farming Future
HOLOSEU is creating an advanced open-source decision-support platform to guide sustainable land use across Europe.
By integrating soils, climate, agricultural system components (crops, grasses, livestock, agroforestry and farm infrastructure), HOLOSEU empowers climate-resilient farming through alternative land use planning, better resource management, improving soil health & biodiversity and reducing carbon footprint to make a farm carbon-neutral.
Significance
The European Council’s goal to reduce GHG emissions by up to 95% by 2050 demands smarter, greener farming. Yet current platforms lack integration of soils, climate, and agricultural components with alternative land use and management.
HOLOSEU addresses this gap by building an intelligent, open-source system that supports sustainable land use, carbon footprinting, and long-term resilience.
Transforming Agricultural Intelligence Across Europe
Integrating diverse agricultural data with HOLOSEU across Europe enables smarter, sustainable farming practices, optimising resource use and reducing the carbon footprint. This ultimately fosters long-term resilience and supports Europe’s goals for a greener, more efficient agricultural sector. The HOLOSEU digital platform development aims for example to:
- Provide region-specific emissions data & coefficients
- Redesign HOLOS-IE with biodiversity, circularity, and more
- Integrate satellite datasets (e.g., Copernicus)
- Build a GDPR-compliant, AI-powered platform
- Validate and calibrate the model using European data from living labs
