ClieNFarms feels that a strong systemic approach is required in order to reduce greenhouse gas-emissions and increase carbon sequestration and storage by at least 50% by 2050. ClieNFarms is based on 20 demonstration I3S (Institute For Research and Innovation Health) case-studies where systemic innovative solutions will be tested and evaluated using up-to-date modeling approaches and multicriteria assessment tools. These case-studies will pave the diversity of the production systems (crops, cattle, dairy, special crop productions, etc) and the diversity of geographical situations (from East to West and North to South of Europe, plus one in New-Zealand).
The solutions will be co-designed with farmers and the surrounding ecosystem through creative arena in a living-lab like structure. Involving finance and supply chain will help create an enabling environment for farmers to transition to climate-neutral farms. I3S structure aims to allow for 1 demonstration farm to reach 10 lead commercial farms and then 100 outreach farms. With the help of the supply a much larger number of farmers will be reached. All the solutions will be recorded in the ClieNFarms data hub that will be an open catalogue for everyone interested in climate mitigation in the agricultural sector. Different guidelines and tools will be part of the outputs of the projects. A large dissemination of the results project will be made through, but not limited to, professional newspapers, scientific articles, and social networks. which will allow the development of bricks for capacity building. This allows them, to show in a short sequence, pros and cons of the different solutions and tools. ClieNFarms will create a dialog with other on-going project and with the European Commission. It is the aim of ClieNFarms to gather 33 partners and last four years.
