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.
Getting familiar with Common Agricultural Policy!
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is designed to support farmers across European Union (EU) member states, ensuring better food quality and promoting sustainable rural development, by most importantly informing!
The latest version of the CAP for 2023-2027 aligns closely with:
- The Green Deal
- Farm to Fork Strategy
- Biodiversity Strategy
Its main goal is to reward farmers for adopting environmentally friendly practices by participating in eco-schemes and focusing on sustainable farming methods. Like any policy, the CAP comes with its challenges. CAP has to face issues such as income inequality and weather-related risks.
Do you think that the approach of providing direct payments and supporting the market can serve as an effective incentive for farmers?
