Imagine farming like a natural forest where everything helps each other grow without needing heavy chemicals. This work figures out which of these nature-based tricks actually work to trap carbon in the soil and protect wildlife. It provides a practical guidebook for farmers to switch methods without losing money.
Farmers and food companies struggle to prove the actual climate and biodiversity benefits of sustainable farming. This lack of hard data makes it difficult to justify the switch from conventional methods or access policy incentives.
A quantification tool for climate and biodiversity benefits and a pragmatic toolbox for implementing agroecological practices.
If you are a software provider dealing with a lack of verified ecological metrics for your users — this project developed a tool to quantify benefits for climate and biodiversity that improves the accuracy of sustainability reporting.
If you are a processor dealing with unstable supply chains due to climate change — this project identified drivers and barriers across 11 Innovation Hubs to help your suppliers adopt more resilient farming methods.
If you are a consultant dealing with complex EU policy changes — this project created a toolbox with pragmatic recommendations to help farmers transition to agroecology while staying compliant with the Common Agricultural Policy.
Based on available project data, there is no mention of pricing or licensing costs for the tools and toolboxes developed.
The project tests these methods across 11 multi-actor Innovation Hubs covering diverse cropping and livestock systems, suggesting a focus on scalable, place-based implementation.
Based on available project data, specific IP rights or licensing terms are not disclosed; the project focuses on delivering a toolbox for farmers and policy makers.
The project assesses how Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) instruments influence farming and provides scale-specific policy recommendations to align with the Green Deal and Farm to Fork Strategy.
The project period runs until 2026-08-31, meaning final validated toolboxes and recommendations will be finalized by then.
The consortium is well-balanced for a transition project, featuring 19 partners across 12 countries. With a 21% industry ratio (4 companies, including 3 SMEs), the project ensures that academic research from 11 universities and research centers is grounded in commercial reality and practical farming application.
