Land Parcel Identification System ‘ISIP’
Rationale of use
In Portugal, the Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) 'iSIP' is used to update field information collection, enhance farmer interactivity, and provide legal backing, such as eco-schemes. It is an interactive platform with a geographical dataset that provides information on rural property, allowing for applications to subsidies as well as compliance monitoring.Functioning
The tool acts as an online platform with georeferenced datasets used for annual checks on agricultural parcels. It allows farmers to update data related to 'reference' parcels (surface, delimitation, crop type) and track eligibility for subsidies, in accordance with European regulations.Types of outputs
The tool provides public access outputs, including satellite/geographical data (parcel delimitation, crop occupation, forest areas, protected zones), legal constraints, and geotagged photos, all verifiable by farmers via the IFAP-Mobile App.Relevant CAP objective
