To spread and transfer the experience and the soil management philosophy to similar Mediterranean areas.Īction C.1: Implementation of best management practices and application of the methodology on a pilot scale (at Rabanales reference farm).Īction D.4: Monitoring the use of resources: greenhousegas emissions emissions in the network of demonstration farms at a regional scale.Īs an action participant with other partners of the project:Īction A.1: Identification and definition of best management practices for mitigating climate change, and indicators for their evaluation and monitoring.Īction A.3: Selection of farms at regional level and signing of agreements with farmers.Īction D.7: Monitoring of the LIFE program indicators.Īction E.1: Communication and dissemination.Īction E.3: Transfer of technology activities at the national level.
To encourage the development of soil management systems that mitigate climate change, through training and raising awareness of stakeholders linked to agriculture. To demonstrate the ability of Conservation Agriculture to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Mediterranean Basin. To develop a technological tool to evaluate and quantify the increase of C in soils due to better soil management practices, as a basis for the development and monitoring of policies linked to climate change and emissions trading. #BIOCONTROL AGENTS COMMERCIALIZATION PROCESS MODEL VERIFICATION#
To design and implement a method to calculate C footprint in the cultivation stage of crops, eligible for international verification standards and C footprint calculation. To improve the state of knowledge about the contents of C in agricultural soil. The project has the following objectives, which once reached, will be long lasting: Furthermore, LIFE AGROMITIGA is aligned with the COM (2016) 500 final “Accelerating Europe’s transition to a low-carbon economy”. The results will be applied to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the 4×1000 Strategy and the Common Agricultural Policy. This project will provide knowledge applicable to international programs about C credits, integrated in programs about reduction of GHG emissions, and data which will contribute to LULUCF accounting. The main project implementation area will be the region of Andalusia, contemplating the extension to the Mediterranean Basin (GR, IT, PT). Through the development and adaptation of a validated methodology in the project, the impact of different agricultural practices will be assessed and mitigative capacity of soil management systems in the Mediterranean Basin will be quantified, in herbaceous and perennial crops. LIFE AGROMITIGA is based on the development of tools and actions that enhance mitigative capacity of soil as a carbon (C) sink. 
The project will highlight techniques that promote circular agrarian economy respectful to the environment, improver of natural capital and ecosystem services. LIFE AGROMITIGA aims to decouple CO 2 emissions regarding the use of raw materials and natural resources, through Conservation Agriculture. LIFE AGROMITIGA will promote a low-carbon agricultural system, providing validated results applicable to EU commitments on climate global alliances.
