Modernizing the management of agricultural land recovery instruments for the Xunta de Galicia

During the past few decades, rural areas and land with great potential for production have been depopulated and abandoned. Galicia has suffered the greatest loss of agricultural land, resulting in many families leaving the region and the creation of plans for the recovery of rural areas.

Among the main barriers to reorganize the Galician rural environment is the fragmented ownership of land, which further complicates the task of locating its owners, a task that has previously been performed manually.

In order to recover the economic activity and stop the depopulation trends, Xunta de Galicia and AGADER (Axencia Galega de Desenvolvemento Rural) rely on the TERREC platform, developed by Vexiza. In it, the administration can make massive data queries about the plots and their owners, thanks to Catastro and INE data integration.

With TERREC, Xunta’s technicians have adopted more efficient workflows, unifying in a single platform both the monitoring of the recovery tasks, which they previously did in Excel format, and the plots of land visualization, for which they had an external tool based on ArcGis without the possibility of integration. In this way, they can now consult from the same dashboard the perimeters of action, set actions for specific areas and upload the documentation linked to each instrument, achieving the best possible traceability in their interventions.

Consequently, the Xunta de Galicia has saved a considerable amount of time and effort by putting landowners in contact with farmers and ranchers who are interested in their farms, thereby reviving agricultural activity in the region and reducing fire risks through the rehabilitation of productive land.
