About this good practice
GeoPortal is a tool of open geo-spatial data to enable public data in agrifood and fishing sectors in Andalusia. It responds to a demand for quality information and transparency.
Open data presented as a set of maps, resources and services.
The tool is accessible using any device with internet connection, http://www.geoportalagriculturaypesca.es/portal
It offers a unique access to a wide range of data previously dispersed and under different formats, providing normalized, structured and integrated data.
It counts a very diverse set of data ready for consultation, use and download. It allows not only the access, but also the possibility of re-using data to generate added value.
The tool was developed to comply with the EU INSPIRE directive: data is compatible and interoperable among all EU countries.
It represents a qualitative & quantitative leap in terms of availability of cartographic-based information, promoting digital transformation to individuals and companies, facilitating access to information and reuse of data available in the Administration.
Exemples of available data:
SIGPAC: GIS for Identification of Agricultural Parcels, collaborative work between Spanish Agrarian Guarantee Fund (FEGA) and different regional governments.
Agricultural districts:territorial division enabling a network of agents providing information for statistical purposes.
Greenhouses map: horticultural crops greenhouses updated cartography, Powerful tool to carry out further analyses.

Expert opinion
GeoPortal is a telematic access point developed in Andalusia to provide open geo-spatial information in the sectors of agri-food and fisheries. The tool was created by the Andalusian Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development with the aim of facilitating public access to site specific information, fostering a creative re-use of regional data to generate added value. The open access database provides a large set of cartographic-based information, standardized according with INSPIRE directive to be compatible and interoperable among EU countries. The tool is easily accessible using any device with internet access. SIGPAC (GIS for Identification of Agricultural Parcels), Agricultural Districts and Greenhouses maps are some examples of provided data.
Potential for learning or transfer:
-The tool represents a step forward in digital transition and service innovation, fostering the principle of data-transparency for public administration and allowing citizens and companies to create new data-driven business opportunities.
-The good practice could be an inspiring example of digital innovation for all those regions where traditional sectors of agri-food and fisheries are affected by dispersed data: a more efficient data management could open new business opportunities for entrepreneurs, being at the same time a useful resource for public administration in managing sectoral strategies.

Resources needed
54.000€ from were necessary to launch GEOPORTAL Own resources of the Andalusia Regional Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Sustainable Development and ERDF.
Evidence of success
Incorporation of new open data models in the regional administration, complying with the European INSPIRE directive.
Facilitate access to quality information to competitiveness centers, companies, etc. So that they can exploit the data, reusing them and generating added value, translating this into new business possibilities derived from the creative use of the geospatial information provided.
A specialized information service for the agri-food sector is offered for the first time.

Potential for learning or transfer
Thanks to the information provided through GEOPORTAL, Andalusia regional administration provides precious geographical geo-spatial driven information, free of charges for users, serving for different purposes, being the private sector one of its beneficiaries (supporting data-driven entrepreneurship, promoting new business models based on public data and complying with the principle of transparency of data). Also the regional administration itself takes full advantage of this service when it comes to improving its management strategy.
Having cartographic-based information available in one single spot is a key tool.
Regional administrations are a source of information and GEOPORTAL is a good example of canalisation of public service that can be provided by European regions.
The European Commission is currently working on publishing the data available from the CAP management; this issue has already been solved with GEOPORTAL in Andalusia.
