4 Per Mille Initiative for Humus Building

Site-specific C monitoring

The use of satellite data enables the precise identification of yield zones. Low-yield zones can be identified and specifically promoted through site-specific humus building measures. This not only contributes to the sustainable improvement of soil fertility but also makes a valuable contribution to climate protection through increased carbon storage in the soil. The first successful pilot projects have been implemented with initiatives of the 4p1000 target.

Yield modeling

Wheat yield forecast

Pre-harvest yield estimates of winter wheat in a model region in Lower Bavaria. This model served as the basis for damage control.

Drinking water protection management
Drinking water protection area Burghausen / Burgkirchen

Creation of site-specific hotspot maps in the Burghausen/Burgkirchen drinking water protection area. These maps serve as a basis for more targeted compensatory measures.

Erosion modeling and recommendations for action

Freising region


Analysis of the erosion effects of various crop types as a result of the farm-specific crop rotation. Recommendations for terracing or greening of individual areas to reduce erosion. With these targeted measures, erosion can be reduced and, in some cases, completely avoided in the at-risk zones.
