Welcome to the Decision Support Tool Framework

A decision support tool is a software to support better and faster decision-making.

Aim

The aim of the Decision Support Tool Framework is to help the target groups find and get inspiration from existing decision support tools applied in different European countries. The decision support tools enable a user to take the right steps at the right time to handle diffuse pollution from nutrients or pesticides in different situations at the farm, in a catchment or on regional/national scale.
