Marco:
Although it is not exactly what you asked for, I think the Galician Land Information System ( http://www.bantegal.com/sitegal ) recently created in Spain deserves a look (unfortunately it doesn’t have an English version). It was put into service to support the Land Bank of Galicia (a public institution that rents unused land to lease it to active farmers), and it allows land owners to either offer their land via web (if they are not using it) or to bid for any of the offered land plots. Obviously, there is some paperwork to be done after a parcel is offered or a bid is accepted.
As an example: in the welcome screen, under “Últimas parcelas incorporadas ao banco” (last plots offered to the bank) you can click on any of the parcels to see where it is located and some basic information (area, current land use, and others) and, in case of being interested, try to rent it (below the map: “solicitar arrendamento”).
Best wishes
Eduardo

Eduardo,
yes, thanks, this is an interesting use case. How do people or offices
who want to _lease_ unused lands to farmers enter those lands into the
system, and who are they? Are they only public officers?
Thanks,
Marco

If an owner wants to offer (enter) a parcel, he/she also can do it using the web interface. In the same web (http://www.bantegal.com/sitegal ), the fourth option on the left is “ofrecer parcelas” (“offer parcels”). Once selected, this option guides you through several steps to locate the parcel (you could try: just select a province, municipality and parish, click on “seguir” --go on-- and a webmap will appear on which you can interactively click on the parcel you would like to enter). A few more clicks on “seguir” will show some cadastre information, a reference rent to be perceived (a minimum of 20 euros a year or 10 euros per hectare-year), and other.
For a parcel to be correctly introduced in the system, the owner must register (a registration page would appear near the end of the process). Once the parcel is introduced, the administrative process is started and several days later the owner would be required to sign a contract on paper.
By the way, some of the parcels already introduced in the system were managed by the administration, and these were introduced by public officials.
