"The Institute for Land Utilisation, Technology and Regional Development (ILTR) is a significant research and education entity in the North Great Plain region of Hungary. By means of the project results the research potential of ILTR will improve making it able to carry out the following:The most important project objective is the establishment – based on agricultural producers – of a geo-informatic technical advisory and information system supporting environmental friendly and efficient agrotechnological interventions. The developed system is suitable for the detailed, plot-scale analysis of production site circumstances and yield, as well as the spatial-temporal evaluation of production technology parameters, it provides efficient support for predicition and at the same time a modern agricultural monitoring system will be createdThe goal of the planned research activity is to scientifically lay the foundation of rational land use and an environmentally sound agriculture and to establish a sustainable agricultural economy within the North Great Plain region by means of Geographic Information System (GIS) methods.Our plans are the following: First, to improve the efficiency of agricultural production, the competition, market and profit positions of producers and the adaptation of environmentally sound management in the region by exploiting comparative advantages. Second, to establish a sustainable, multi-functional agricultural practice.As a result of our work ILTR will carry out technical advisory activities and there will be a possibility to create an agricultural-environment management plan which would support the development of an environment friendly fertilization, plant protection, cultivation and crop structure approach.In order to successfully carry out the research capacity development ILTR plans to improve its infrastructure and its human resources. Scientific visits and secondments at the institutions of networking partners and ILTR will also be carried out. Dissemination activities and the creation of a database will help spreading excellence and improve the visibility of ILTR."
