In recent years GTCAP’s research and development work principally focused on 1) Promote the checks by monitoring approach as a key control system for paying agencies and 2) Make better use of new technologies for monitoring environmental and climate requirements. This report compiles the findings and other outcomes of the GTCAP activities on the CAP Green Infrastructure aspects. The GTCAP’s green Infrastructure work focused on activities exploring the nexus of land and environment and employed cutting-edge technology more effectively for monitoring environmental and climate requirements. The primary focus lay on farming practices that contribute to reaching climate and environmental goal. The work carried out has focused on the identification of the elements of these practices that should be extracted and documented to allow monitoring them. Standardization of the land cover/land use semantics and classification systems and elaborating the link with the visible biophysical phenomena are another essential part of the work done in the last two years. The conceptual framework and approaches elaborated are applied and discussed in four case studies implemented in the last two years and described in this report.
