Focusing mainly on professionals of the agricultural sector the project will share in-depth knowledge on the most up-to-date carbon farming techniques, tailored to local crops and other pertinent characteristics.
Bringing together
the best and the brightest
Carbonica will put forward a common strategy in the three countries to bring Research and Innovation together: researchers from different disciplines and across borders will have the opportunity to work together and provide knowledge and expertise on Carbon Farming.
Planning for the future
Carbonica will provide solid recommendations to policy makers in the three participating countries in order to facilitate the adoption of carbon farming techniques in traditional agriculture. These policy recommendations will help pave the way and provide expert insight for future legislation.
