About

CAFAMORE is an ambitious Horizon Europe project within the Mission Soil, launched in July 2025 to accelerate the adoption of Carbon Farming practices across the EU and support the Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming (CRCF) Regulation.

Our mission is to make Carbon Farming credible, cost-effective, and scalable by delivering the digital infrastructure, tools, and knowledge needed to ensure reliable Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) of carbon removals and emission reductions.

Our approach
01
Mapping the Carbon Farming ecosystem
Mapping the Carbon Farming ecosystem
Conducting an in-depth analysis of the EU Carbon Farming market and business strategies is the first step to map key actors, standards, policies, barriers, and opportunities, while identifying effective business models for a sustainable Carbon Farming economy.
02
Building comprehensive data catalogues
Building comprehensive data catalogues
Harmonised, well-documented data catalogues for soil, climate, earth observation, crop, and crop management information across the EU are needed to facilitate access to information and to leverage available data.
03
Developing quantification and standardised baseline methodologies
Developing quantification and standardised baseline methodologies
Soil carbon certification requires standardised baseline methodologies, applying multi-model approaches and testing them in pilot countries.

04
Testing and Validating in Project Pilots
Testing and Validating in Project Pilots
Building a digital infrastructure that supports a spatially explicit land-parcel registry is essential to enable certification schemes to issue, manage, and trade Carbon Farming certificates securely.

05
Improving accuracy and cost-efficiency
Improving accuracy and cost-efficiency
Developing, validating, and deploying automated Carbon Farming monitoring systems in seven pilot countries will enable making MRV tools accessible to farmers and schemes during and after the project. 
06
Enabling secure Carbon Certification
Enabling secure Carbon Certification
Enhancing trust in Carbon Farming requires reducing the uncertainty and improving the cost-effectiveness of monitoring approaches through advanced modelling, improved remote sensing, better soil sampling strategies, and studies on the permanence of sequestered carbon.
