Resumen de El SIGPAC: " Hoy las ciencias adelantan..."
The Spanish System for Identifying Agricultural Lots (SIGPAC) provides the grounds for the concession of subsidies according to surface space used by the Common Agricultural Policy when making its grants to the sector. The author sets the number of applications for this aid at some 900,000 at present and the monies handed over using SIGPAC´s data bases as the main reference when doing so at around 5,000 million Euros.
The author sees SIGPAC as very much the star turn in the gamut of novel technological devices that the Spanish Administration has employed of late.
The benefi ts of such technology are seen however not to be limited to this sector but to take in a whole range of activities be these professional, administrative, academic or simply leisure based for by accessing websites such as FEGA or MARM the entire offer of the National Territory as a whole can not only be explained but seen and this easily and for free.
The paper in itself offers the reader the groundings of SIGPAC from its setting up, workings and on going perfecting. The text itself and supporting data offers a summarized explanation of the supporting under pinning of the system, its organizing structuring and daily workings.
