The LIFE FOLIAGE (LIFE19 GIE/IT/000311) is funded by The Life Programme The LIFE programme is the EU’s funding instrument for the environment and climate action created in 1992.
LIFE FOLIAGE (LIFE19 GIE/IT/000311) is a LIFE project funded in 2020, and its goal is to improve forest governance. The specific objectives are:
- digitize regional administrative documents;
- monitor the surface of forests through remote sensing and satellite imagery;
- provide comprehensive information to citizens on forest management;
- provide key statistics to improve forest management.
Il progetto ha affrontato ogni obiettivo specifico sviluppando un sistema software ((Digital System Forest, SDF) composed of:
- Forest Management Platform (FMP), targeted at PA’s, forestry professionals, enforcement agencies, and citizens;
- The Earth observation platform (EOP), specifically addressed to PA’s and designed to be complemetary instrument of the FMP;
- Information Rilievo Forestale (PRIF), per supportare con un’applicazione mobile le indagini sul campo;
- Platform support governance (PSG), to provide aggregated forest statistics to Regions, MIPAAF, MATTM, ISTAT.

L’EREDITÀ DI FOLIAGE: UN NUOVO SISTEMA, DATI CERTI E FIDUCIA NEL FUTURO DIGITALE
DIGITALIZZAZIONE, LIFE FOLIAGE SI RACCONTA IN UN CONGRESSO FINALE CHE GUARDA ANCHE AL FUTURO
Congresso finale di LIFE FOLIAGE il 16 maggio 2025
Softwares Platform
The project will address each specific objective by developing a software system (Digital Forestry System, SDF) consisting of:PFM PLATFORM
Addresses to public administration, law enforcement, forestry professional, forest owners/managers“The Forest Management Platform (FMP) is the hub of administrative procedures for logging interventions and forest planning. All forestry applications are managed by the FMP: communication of forest cutting, thinning, conversion of a form of government, forest cutting projects, forest management plans and any other instance in which the cutting of forest stands is planned or requested.”
EOP PLATFORM
public administration“The Earth Observation Platform (EOP) systemizes data from the Forest Management Platform (FMP) with satellite imagery (Landsat8, Sentinel2) to identify disturbances to the environment using remote sensing techniques.”
IEP PLATFORM
Addresses to public administration, law enforcement, non governative organization and citizensPlatform of relevance and forestry information is a mobile app to support field investigations of forest professionist, PA’s, police and OGN.
PSG PLATFORM
per fornire preziose statistiche forestali a Regioni e a tutti i portatori di interesse nazionali.“The Governance Support Platform (PSG) is the portal where all aggregate data and statistics on forestry operations reported and/or authorized in the Regions converge. In addition to these data, information from the Forest Monitoring Platform also flows into the PSG.”
