How to combine socioeconomic assessment and remote sensing methods to recover and group farm plots at risk of abandonment

The abandonment of farmland is leading to a loss production capacity in many agricultural systems. This article proposes methodology for carrying out Joint Cropland Management (JCM) initiatives, which involve the cooperative use land plots without affecting ownership, areas with fragmented structure. Our framework combines socioeconomic assessment farmers remote sensing and machine learning methods. Areas at risk are located, based on potential groupings proposed. was validated through pilot test that identified 11 showing economic JCM comprising 647 abandoned plots, 154 owned by members an cooperative. easily scalable application systems characterised atomised structures.
