The real real-world applicability of different monitoring tools for Carbon Farming is a cornerstone of CAFAMORE. As a consequence, our MRV approaches and the issuance of certificates in the spatially explicit registry will be tested in seven countries in Europe, which cover different pedoclimatic conditions, data availability, certification schemes, legislation, and stakeholder involvement. This analysis will feed our technical developments, offering valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges faced by farmers and farmer advisors.
Project pilots
Belgium
Provision of a parcel-scale harmonised quantification module for Flanders to connect via APIs to public and private tools and calculate baselines in arable lands and agroforestry systems.
Finland
Assessment of the functionality and performance of an operational MRV tool with new data streams in croplands in mineral and peat fields.
France
Creation, assessment, and implementation of a digital Carbon Farming MRV tool applicable in arable lands, designed for farmers, farmer advisors, and project developers.
Netherlands
Assessment of a multi-model approach, calculation of regional baselines, improvement of the utilisation of EO products, and development of a N₂O emission tool in arable land and grassland on mineral soils.
Romania
Assessment of the possibility of fitting and using the digital MRV tool developed in France in Romanian farms, using farm-specific and national data streams.
Spain
Provision of a parcel scale harmonised quantification platform for the entire region for agroforestry systems.
Switzerland
Improvement of SOC stock change assessment, ex-post analyses on the efficiency of payment schemes, and projections of SOC sequestration in arable lands and grasslands.
