| A major task of the ERD project is
to analyze trends and driving forces of rural development from a Europe-wide
perspective. It is therefore essential to build-up a database of homogenized
indicators for the countries included that cover all major
dimensions of rural development. These indicators should be
available at a low regional level (at least NUTS 3). |
| During the next few months we will
develop this on-line repository of numerical information on Europe's
countryside. The database will provide the information in the form
of tables, charts, maps, remote sensing images, and data-generated
animations (see an example
from the ChinaFood CD-ROM). It will include both statistical and
bio-geophysical data and will be available to everyone. |
