Farmers & Cooperatives
Combining profitability with sustainability
Farmers & Cooperatives
Combining profitability with sustainability
Farmers need to maintain the farm's profitability while contributing to environmental sustainability. Their main needs are to find: i) practical and easy-to-understand guides on carbon farming, ii) financial support and incentives; and iii) reliable tools to discriminate service providers and good value offerings.
Regional Actors & Local Authorities
Carbon farming practices for the advantage of the community
Regional Actors & Local Authorities
Carbon farming practices for the advantage of the community
Regional actors and local authorities representatives in the EU are often responsible for implementing environmental and agricultural policies. They need to promote practices for sustainability, but face challenges due to limited resources and technical expertise. Their main needs include: i) clear guidance on carbon farming initiatives; ii) resources to educate local farmers; and iii) financial support mechanisms for implementing new schemes.
Agronomists
Carbon farming practices for the advantage of the community
Agronomists
Carbon farming practices for the advantage of the community
Agronomists specialize amongst others in soil health and are advocates for integrating scientific research into practical farming solutions. They usually look for new methods to help farmers improve their management while maintaining environmental sustainability. Their main needs include: i) up-to-date research on carbon sequestration; ii) tools to help farmers maximizing soil fertility; and iii) align farms with policy requirements.
Policy Makers
Shaping policies for sustainable agriculture
Policy Makers
Shaping policies for sustainable agriculture
Policy makers play a crucial role in developing frameworks that support carbon farming and environmental sustainability. However, they often face challenges in balancing economic growth with ecological preservation. Their key needs include:i) clear evidence on the effectiveness of carbon farming practice; ii) policy recommendations based on scientific research and real-world case studies; and iii) collaboration with farmers, researchers, and industry stakeholders to create actionable policies.
Researchers
Advancing knowledge for practical solutions
Researchers
Advancing knowledge for practical solutions
Researchers drive innovation by studying carbon sequestration, soil health, and sustainable farming practices. Their work supports both policy and practice, but they often need stronger connections with end-users. Their key needs include: i) access to real-world farming data for testing and validation; ii) platforms for translating research findings into practical applications; and iii) funding and partnerships to scale up pilot studies and field trials.
Private sector & NGOs
Driving impact through innovation and support
Private sector & NGOs
Driving impact through innovation and support
Businesses and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a critical role in promoting and funding carbon farming initiatives. While the private sector seeks profitable sustainability solutions, NGOs focus on advocacy and community support. Their key needs include: i) market opportunities for sustainable agricultural products; ii) reliable metrics for assessing carbon sequestration and sustainability impacts; and iii) partnerships with farmers, researchers, and policymakers to implement scalable solutions.
EU Projects
Funding innovation for sustainable agriculture
EU Projects
Funding innovation for sustainable agriculture
EU-funded projects drive research, innovation, and the implementation of carbon farming practices across Europe. However, ensuring long-term impact and adoption remains a challenge. Their key needs include: i) strong stakeholder engagement to translate research into practice; ii) effective dissemination strategies to maximize project impact; and iii) clear pathways for scaling and integrating successful solutions into policies and markets.
Certification Bodies
Ensuring credibility and standarization
Certification Bodies
Ensuring credibility and standarization
Certification bodies play a crucial role in verifying carbon sequestration efforts and ensuring compliance with sustainability standards. Their work is essential for building trust in carbon markets, but challenges include standardization and traceability. Their key needs include: i) harmonized guidelines for carbon farming certification; ii) reliable and transparent monitoring and reporting tools; and iii) collaboration with policymakers and scientists to refine certification processes.
