Can poplar farming in Italy contribute to carbon farming practices? Answers from LIFE C-FARMs
In order to face the lack of existing data on the distribution of poplar plantations (currently available until 2017), an update of the mapping to 2021 has been planned and implemented for the Lombardy Region. The action also involved an analysis of the capacity of poplar plantations to mitigate climate change, both in relation to the soils and the contribution made by Harvested Wood Products (HWP), of which post-harvest processes were also considered.

Regulatory framework and Carbon certification system
This August 2022, thanks to coordination of PEFC Italy the A5 action of LIFE C-FARMs project has started collecting results from A1, A2 and A3 actions to create a Carbon farming certification scheme. The final goal is a model of voluntary application that will generate additional rewards and supplementary contributions to the farmers, thanks to an incentive payment interface set at national level.
