The Digital Opportunities Topic Advisory Group (TAG) as part of the UKRI Land Use for Net Zero Hub, are planning a Workshop on Metadata for Land Use Net Zero later in 2025. We welcome your feedback via the following questionnaire in to order shape the agenda. 

The questionnaire has been developed to assist the Digital Opportunities TAG in understanding the expectations, needs, and knowledge gaps of Metadata for Land Use Net Zero. The questionnaire is targeted for users of metadata, those working with metadata development, and those wishing to learn more. 

The questionnaire is divided into thematic sections to identify priorities, expectations, and challenges related to metadata in land use and Net Zero transitions, and related areas. Metadata provides detailed information about datasets designed to support analysis, monitoring, decision-making and ultimately policy development in the context of land use and net-zero GHG emissions targets in the UK. Datasets can include e.g. spatial and thematic data relevant to land cover, land use types, woodlands, forest cover, agricultural practices, carbon sequestration potential, renewable energy data, and land-use change over time.

In 2015, the UK pledged to be Net Zero by 2050, with the NFU striving for the more ambitious target of 2040. Net Zero is achieved when the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted is balanced with those removed from the atmosphere. This helps to combat climate change and reduce global warming.

Agriculture now generates vast amounts of data of different types and at different scales. The ownership, access, control, sharing, value, permissioning, intergration, security, safeguarding and sovereignty of this data represent multiple challenges and opportunities for the sector.

A range of digital technologies promise to transform agriculture, including sensing, robotics, artificial intelligence, wireless networks & IoT, big data, decision support tools, modelling, digital twins and precision farming. 

Land use refers to the way that land is used and managed for various purposes, such as agriculture, housing, industry, and recreation.
