How can we ensure that nature, as the foundation of life, is given greater economic and political priority? The Nature Cadastre provides a public data infrastructure that systematically records the condition of ecosystems and natural capital services at parcel level and makes this information available to both public and private users.<\/p>\n

Beyond this, it embeds this technical data infrastructure within politics, business and society to enable nature-related decision-making in Germany and, in the longer term, across the EU. Following its successful establishment, the Nature Cadastre will be transferred into an independent non-profit limited liability company (gGmbH) in summer 2026 to ensure long-term independence and facilitate its integration into relevant policy frameworks.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Method<\/h2> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

A survey of 1,500 stakeholders in Germany on the state of soil health ten years ago, today and ten years from now. Participants are selected to represent as broad a range as possible of regions, soil functions and professional backgrounds. The survey asks participants to assess the development of seven different soil functions, their links to ecosystem services, as well as the significance of economic, technological and political framework conditions, drivers and countermeasures.<\/p>\n

In the private sector, the Nature Cadastre is being established as a de facto data standard, starting with the data-driven modernisation of ecological certification processes in collaboration with Bioland, Naturland and leading retail companies. Technical development follows an iterative approach: for each use case, an initial set of ecological performance data is defined and implemented, then further developed based on real-world use<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
