| Summary: | Due to climate change and agricultural activity changes, there has been an upward trend
in burnt areas in various countries. Besides two essential factors to fire occurrence, a third
may be considered: ignitions, which often happen due to negligent attitudes toward fire,
frequently used to eradicate agroforestry leftovers. As a way of dealing with this type of incident and reducing the rural fire occurrence risk, there is a need to create destinations for
these leftovers, promoting the residual biomass recovery, and avoiding fire ignition needs
and fuel loads. In an internet and digital applications era, their use can be used as a driver
to fill leftovers destination necessity, connecting the two market sides, the supply, and the
demand. In this context, this study aims to consolidate an app-based model presented in
previous studies through an expert’s validation. As a result, an information model to foster
the agroforestry leftover recovery, as well as requirements list for the digital artefact that will
support this model, are presented. These results present a relevant integrated model where
different various scenarios are proposed, offering different paths to fire risk mitigation and
inherent sustainability concerns. |
