Integration and Automation of Existing Interrelationship Processes Between Photovoltaic Technologies, Agricultural Land Production and Landscape Protection: The GILDA Project

This work aims at presenting a detailed illustration of the key findings, integrated analyses, and methodological and application procedures developed in the context of the creation and management of the complex information assets relating to applications pertaining to the regulation of control procedures for the presence of certified crops in agricultural areas (specifically organic production, production registered with the national quality system for integrated production, production with a designation of origin and geographical indication, fodder produced in the area of origin of the Parmigiano-Reggiano DOP cheese) of the Emilia-Romagna Region affected by photovoltaic systems, aiming at locating these systems. The extreme complexity of the above-described issues led to the development of the GILDA project, an acronym for Low-zero code Integrated Management of Authorization Applications, specifically based on the use of Low-Code Platforms for the integration and automation of processes. Its aim is to ensure effective, timely and efficient management of the investigation activity, archiving and evaluation processes of requests relating to the verification of the presence of certified crops on agricultural land affected by the construction of photovoltaic and agrivoltaic systems, by virtue of the contribution made by the organizational and technological innovation implemented.
