The GRAS Mapping App provides users with the possibility to collect farmers data, fields polygons and pictures. Farmers can be entered in the App by scanning their QR Code. The QR Code is provided by the Central Office representative.
Farmer data are taken via a questionnaire in the app. Different kind of data can be collected with the app: Basic data, financial data, agricultural data, field data. Data can be either farmer specific or field specific.
Fields polygons are collected by walking around the farmer field and adding the corner of the fields in the app. When the user reaches at leat 3 corners, the possibility to close the polygon is provided. Once the polygon is closed, the user can see the polygon in the map and add field specific data (yields, use of chemicals, etc.).
Photos can also be saved in the app. Photos can relate to the farmer (profile photo), farmer relevant documents (id card, land right certificate) and the farmer field (specific measures implemented on the field).
All collected data are then uploaded to the GRAS database and can be accessed online through the GRAS website.
