Abstract

The growing demand for olive oil has driven the intensification of olive plantations in the Mediterranean Basin. In this context, monitoring and classifying parcels is essential to evaluate environmental and socioeconomic impacts and use of resources and agricultural inputs. This study introduces an innovative ordinal classification model to distinguish four olive plantation systems: traditional, low-density intensive, high-density intensive, and super intensive. Employing this methodology with public LiDAR-PNOA data, the model achieved 85% accuracy, demonstrating its robustness and efficacy. These findings enrich the SIGPAC database, supporting the Spanish Government in developing decision-making models for future agricultural planning.
