Intensive farming has been linked to significant degradation of land, water and air. A common body of knowledge is needed, to allow an effective monitoring of cropping systems, fertilization and water demands, and impacts of climate change, with a focus on sustainability and protection of the physical environment. In this presentation, we describe AgriBigCAT, an online software platform that uses geo-physical information from various diverse sources, employing geospatial and big data analysis, together with web technologies, in order to estimate the impact of the agricultural sector on the environment, considering land, water, biodiversity and natural areas requiring protection, such as forests and wetlands. This platform can assist both the farmers' decision-taking processes and the administration planning and policy making, with the ultimate objective of meeting the challenge of increasing food production at a lower environmental impact. Presentation at the EnviroInfo 2017 Conference in Luxembourg.

Intensive farming has been linked to excessive accumulation of heavy metals and other contaminants on soil, and to significant groundwater pollution with nitrates. Hence, it is necessary to develop a common body of knowledge, so as to allow an effective monitoring of cropping systems, fertilization and water demands, and impacts of climate change, with a focus on the sustainability and the protection of the physical environment. In this presentation, we describe AgriBigCAT, an online software platform that uses geophysical information from various diverse sources, employing geospatial and big data analysis, together with web technologies, in order to estimate the impact of the agricultural sector on the environment. It considers land, water, biodiversity and natural areas requiring protection, such as forests and wetlands. This platform can assist both the farmers' decision-taking processes and the administration planning and policy-making, with the ultimate objective of meeting the challenge of increasing food production at a lower environmental impact. An online application of AgriBigCAT, focusing on the local environmental issues of the agricultural sector of Catalonia, is presented and described, together with some preliminary analysis findings. This presentation has been prepared for the EFITA 2017 Congress in Montpellier.
Scientists have proposed that 1 Gigatonne of annual emissions reductions from agriculture by 2030 will be necessary to stay within the 2°C limit. Emissions reductions would would need to increase in the longer-term. The figure below shows estimated business-as-usual emissions from agriculture in the top line, and the maximum amount of emissions from agriculture in a 2°C world in the bottom line. The gap - 1 Gigagonne - is the aspirational mitigation target. Learn more: http://ccafs.cgiar.org/MitigationTargetAgriculture

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

different forms e.g.:
● Feed
● Fertilizer
● Young animals reared elsewhere
And leave the farm in different forms, e.g.
● Milk
● Live or dead animals
● Manure etc.
A flow statement (a profit and loss account) gives the

9. Calculation methods
Like profit and loss account: based on the physical units
(kg milk etc.) on invoices (or delivery reports)
With norms for all types of inputs and outputs
● set rather high / low to promote use of real
laboratory results on N / P content of products
Feed companies started to provide invoices and yearly
delivery reports with the N / P content of the feed for
each farm
Manure often tested (laboratory) on request buyer
(arable farms)
Separate software (excel), or integrated in management
information system or (fiscal) accounting system.
10. In MINAS the data are auditable
Due to integration with the fiscal profit and loss account
(that is for tax reasons obliged on every farm)
An input you want to cheat with
and not declare in your
Mineral Account (e.g. fertilizer), you would like to include
in your P&L as a deductible cost.
This principle does not work if manure prices are very
negative (extreme surplus in the region)
● And you have to make sure the manure is really
transported (e.g. by obligation to register /
announce manure transport)
Therefor the agricultural accounting offices integrated
the calculation in their work and signed the accounts off.
11. The rise and fall of MINAS
1984: Interim law that made new (extra) buildings
illegal: stop the growth
1987: Mandate on maximum application rates of manure
in kg Phosphate (P2O5) per ha
● “Manure bookkeeping”
● Decreasing from 350 to 90 (silage maize) between
1997 and 1996
MINAS developed as a management tool around 1990 by
an agri-environmental consultancy of farmers (CLM)
● Big advantage: full substitution between different
inputs (or outputs) gives insight in management
options and farm comparison (benchmarking)
supported
12. The rise and fall of MINAS
1993: consensus between government and farmers to
base the environmental policy on an economic
instrument in stead of physical mandates: MINAS as a
policy instrument
Large project on introduction:
● Map data flows, add new ones for audit reasons or
to make accounting easier
● Develop and test audit-procedures
● Adapt software
● Extension: introduction with farmers, farm study
groups
13. The rise and fall of MINAS

Large project on introduction:
● Map data flows, add new ones for audit reasons or
to make accounting easier
● Develop and test audit-procedures
● Adapt software
● Extension: introduction with farmers, farm study
groups
1998: full scale introduction (after 2 years political
delay)
14. The rise and fall (and re-rise) of MINAS
1998 introduced for farms with more than 2.5 animals
per ha, later for all farms (including arable)
● Surplus per ha is indicator for efficiency
● Certain level is unavoidable (e.g. a loss rate of 5 kg)
● The remaining surplus was taxed (prohibitively)
2003: EU Court of Justice (NL vs. Eur. Commission)
ruled out MINAS as being incompatible with N-directive:
● Loss rates / ha incompatible with use-rates of
manure
● Too high loss rates were “only” taxed, not forbidden
2006: Back to manure application and max. livestock / ha

16. Concluding remarks
Great management tool
Economic instrument (improves manure market) that
gives farmers insight and more options for farm specific
measures (like substitution fertilizer /manure) than a
mandate / maximum animals per ha.
But administrative burden for everybody in the chain
And enforcement can be complex
It does not punish high efficient farms, and forces
inefficient ones to change
It works if the manure market between livestock farms
and arable land is in balance. Not if production has to be
cut back considerably (too high negative manure price)
Within farm (feedlot) problems not solved.
