Reliable monitoring of soil carbon is central to building confidence in carbon farming and carbon removal. On Friday, 13 November 2026, the Hellenic Accreditation System (ESYD), in collaboration with the Ministry of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence, will host an event in Athens as part of the CARBONICA project.

Titled “Accreditation and Reliable Monitoring of Soil Carbon: Satellite Data, Earth Observation and Carbon Farming,” the event will explore recent European developments in soil monitoring and carbon removal certification. Discussions will focus on the Soil Monitoring Law and the EU certification framework for carbon removals and carbon farming, as well as the potential of Earth Observation technologies.

The programme will also address how accreditation, certification and verification can support confidence in soil data and services, and what these developments could mean for the agri-food sector and environmental management.

The event forms part of CARBONICA’s work to connect carbon-farming innovation ecosystems and strengthen collaboration across Greece, North Macedonia and Cyprus.
