Potential 🡪 There is *great* potential of the agricultural sector in the 3 countries.
Through CARBONICA we aim at becoming trailblazers in Carbon Farming
Holistic approach with a comprehensive view of emissions reductions and emissions removals tackling carbon farming additional
to climate ambition in achieving the emission reduction targets
i. Tailored advice with workshops on the demonstration at the farm and regional level as well as synergies constituted
around a focal question of how to reduce the carbon footprint of the agrifood sector
ii. A close-to-market approach to developing business structures that will enable public and private users the in
agrifood sector to exploit low-carbon services, simulate a motivating reward system allowing customization for
farmers, and increase their competitiveness
iii. Targeting collective schemes to facilitate farmers’ and landowners’ uptake within carbon farming and to safeguard
the implementation of the proposed action plans

Tailored advice

Step 1. Co-develop: This is a creative step where diverse
perspectives are brought together to share information,
data, experiences, and new ideas about how to improve
farming practices or technologies. With the active
involvement of farmers, the innovations and
accompanying scientific research activities are co-
developed and prepared for testing.
Step 2. Test: The innovations are tested where they will
be used: by farmers on real farms. Along with real-life
tests, scientific research helps assess how well the
practices or technologies are performing, including their
environmental and socio-economic impact.
Step 3. Evaluate: The innovations are evaluated in many
ways, such as their practical application and effectiveness,
based on both scientific research and the hands-on
experience of farmers. This data and evaluation ensures
that farmers and scientists have useful and scientifically-
proven solutions that can be readily adopted by others.

A close-to-market approach
close-to-market approach to developing business structures that will
enable public and private users the in agrifood sector to exploit low
carbon services, simulate a motivating reward system allowing
customization for farmers, and increase their competitiveness

Targeting collective schemes
Targeting collective schemes: actions relating to training, advice, education, innovation, digital and green investments
should clearly have an exclusive collective dimension.

the solution
