Establishing a forum dedicated to carbon farming Research and Innovation (R&I) within the CARBONICA platform represents a significant initiative to foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and community building across various regions and expertise.
This forum is envisioned as an online space that gathers experts from all three Widening Countries (Cyprus, Greece, and North Macedonia) to pool their knowledge, experiences, and insights regarding carbon farming. It transcends geographical boundaries, encouraging participation from local experts and diaspora communities, fostering a diverse and global perspective on the subject.
At its core, this space is inclusive and inviting, welcoming project partners, stakeholders (such as farmers, researchers, policymakers, and environmentalists), and individuals enthusiastic about contributing to climate-resilient agriculture and carbon farming innovations.
Frameworks and Policies. What is the difference?
Frameworks set the big picture, offering guidance without specific obligations. Policies outline recommendations or goals to implement these frameworks. Laws, in contrast, are binding rules established by legislative bodies to enforce compliance. Directives require achieving certain results but allow flexibility in how member states meet them, while regulations are strictly binding and must be applied across all EU states without modification.
All of these tools work together to support initiatives like carbon farming. In the image here, there are some important frameworks, regulations, policies, laws and directives supporting carbon farming initiatives.
