At the European level, IGN FI has been a leading player since its creation in the development and validation of CORINE Land Cover type land use databases, which are now integrated into the extensive Copernicus program. Outside Europe, IGN FI promotes this concept of environmental databases by adapting them to local specificities and developing numerous applications.
In light of states' environmental preservation obligations and food security challenges, geographical information proves to be essential data.
The production of geographical data and its integration into specialized applications, aimed at generating relevant indicators, is designed to support sector stakeholders in their decision-making: agro-ecological zoning, monitoring of deforestation or forest degradation, ecosystem accounting, or other environmental analyses.
