HOLOSEU – A Comprehensive Digital Platform for Land Use Planning, Carbon Footprinting, and Decision Making in European Agriculture

The HOLOSEU project aims to develop an advanced decision-support tool for European agriculture, surpassing traditional digital platforms by integrating essential variables like soil and climate impacts. An evolution of the HOLOS-IE model, HOLOSEU incorporates new modules for agrobiodiversity and circularity to enable comprehensive scenario modelling across Europe. This robust platform integrates FAIR data from diverse sources – including soil, climate, drones, and satellites – using advanced programming, GIS, APIs, and statistical analysis to improve land use planning and decision-making.

Through real-time data access, living labs, and calibration, HOLOSEU aims to optimise resource use, enhance production economics, and support sustainable and competitive European agriculture. Key functionalities include GHG quantifications, carbon foot printing, and climate change simulation, offering actionable insights for stakeholders ranging from farmers to policymakers.

The main contribution of Fraunhofer ISI is stakeholder engagement and requirement gathering. The task is pivotal to understanding the needs, expectations, and challenges faced by all stakeholders involved in the project not only from today's perspective, but also in the future. 

HOLOSEU is dedicated to transforming European agriculture through innovative technology, data-driven insights and advanced decision-support tools. Its mission is to support sustainable farming practices by providing essential tools for climate-resilient land use planning and carbon foot printing with additional modules such as agrobiodiversity and circularity.
