Fostering Carbon Farming Practices through Living Labs in the Mediterranean & Southern EU for the healthy future of European soils
Get InvolvedRestoring Soils, Growing Futures
Our dedication to advancing soil health ensures a sustainable future.
Agricultural soils in the southern European Union face severe threats from climate change, with the Mediterranean region warming 20% faster than the global average. This poses a risk of significantly reduced crop yields by up to 50% by 2050 if climate impacts are not mitigated. While agriculture contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, it also holds great potential for climate adaptation and mitigation through Carbon Farming practices.
The LILAS4SOILS project seeks to address these challenges by implementing Carbon Farming Practices (CFPs) across 85-100 demo-sites in 6 countries through 5 Living Labs. Over its 5-year duration, the project will involve 24 expert partners and over 50 farmers, exploring various CFPs and assessing their impact using advanced Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) technologies. By fostering collaboration among farmers, researchers, and local authorities, LILAS4SOILS aims to enhance soil health and sustainability in EU agriculture.
