LIFE C-FARMs expected results are related to the creation of a methodological and normative framework communally applicable to enable a wider uptake of Carbon Farming practices.
LIFE C-FARMs is also linked to the creation of the high-resolution demonstrative geospatial information system (GIS-FARMs), which will identify the mitigation potential of the agricultural sector of the selected region.
Lastly, LIFE C-FARMs wants to develop a regulatory framework for a carbon certification system in relation to carbon farming practices.
