Analysis of impacts on farmland

When a power line, a pipeline or a plant crosses farmland, the conversation with landowners and with the authorities is won with data. We record what is actually in the field, quantify the loss and propose compensation that can be defended.

What's included

• Inventory of the parcels affected: crops, land uses, irrigation, farm infrastructure and tracks.
• Fieldwork verifying the actual crop and productive condition, not just the official land register.
• Economic valuation of production losses, temporary occupation and easements.
• Analysis of land fragmentation and of the effect on machinery operations.
• Preventive and compensatory measures, and criteria for restoring agricultural soil.
• Documentation for the compulsory purchase file and for the environmental impact study.

When you need it

• You are designing linear infrastructure that crosses arable or irrigated land.
• You are developing a renewable plant and have to evidence compatibility with farming.
• The agricultural authority is asking for a valuation of the impacts.
• You are negotiating with owners or tenants and need a solid basis for valuation.

How we work

It is done by people who know both farming and permitting. We go out to the parcel, talk to whoever works it, and produce figures that stand up before the authorities and before the landowner alike.
