DigiFarm delivers a comprehensive set of solutions tailored for Paying Agencies

This article outlines the core use cases DigiFarm supports for Paying Agencies within the CAP context. These capabilities are designed to deliver high-resolution, timely, and cost-effective data products that enhance monitoring, compliance, and efficiency.

1. Deep Resolution Imagery

• Technology: Sentinel-2 imagery super-resolved from 10 m to 1 m per pixel.
  
  

• Delivery Modes: On-demand (Dashboard, API, Plugins) or pre-rendered (WMTS, mosaics).
  
  

• Applications:

  • Expert Judgement: High-resolution imagery to reduce “yellow parcels” and support parcel-level verification.

  • Basemap Creation: Cloud-free mosaics at 1 m resolution across entire countries/regions.

  • Time-Series Analysis: Deep-resolved temporal stacks to monitor small parcels and detect anomalies.

2. Field Boundary Delineation

• Automatic multi-temporal boundary generation from historical and current imagery.
  
  

• Accuracy: Detects fields down to 50 m² and reliably at scale down to 0.1 hectares
  
  

• Applications:

  • GSAA (Geospatial Aid Application) Support: Provides pre-filled field boundaries to accelerate farmer declarations.

  • LPIS Maintenance: Annual boundary updates to keep LPIS datasets current.

  • Historical Analysis: Retroactive delineation to assess unregistered or late-declared parcels.

3. LPIS Updates

• Cloud-Free Mosaics: 1 m resolution mosaics delivered multiple times per year, filling the gap between orthophoto cycles.
  
  

• Pre-Filled LPIS Datasets: Boundaries + 11-class land cover classification, reducing the time and cost of manual correction.
  
  

• Workflow Impact: Agencies only adjust/correct, instead of building LPIS from scratch annually.

4. In-Season Monitoring & Event Markers

• Event Detection:

  • Seeding

  • Harvesting

  • Crop ripening/maturity

  • Land-use change
    
    
    

• Applications:

  • Early-warning system for compliance checks.

  • Reduced need for field visits.

  • Inputs to eco-scheme verification and crop management programs.

5. Access & Integration

• Self-Service Dashboard: Simple access for quick trials and visualization.
  
  

• APIs: Direct integration into existing agency systems.

  
  

• GIS Plugins: Ready-to-use for QGIS and ArcGIS environments.

6. Independent Validation & Quality Assurance

• University Partnerships: Ongoing independent validation studies.
  
  

• Multiple Agencies in Production: Proven workflows already operational in Austria, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Greece, and others.

  
  

• Support & Training: Materials, workshops, and in-person sessions to ensure smooth adoption.
