LILAS4SOILS will engage with a wide range of agriculture stakeholders to co-create, implement and validate results of Carbon Farming Practices in real life settings, contributing to ensure their uptake and large-scale impacts.
Objectives
LILAS4SOILS addresses the challenging climate situation that affects southern European agricultural soils, particularly in the rapidly warming Mediterranean region. The project focuses on implementing Carbon Farming Practices (CFPs) to promote climate adaptation and mitigation.
Over five years, LILAS4SOILS will develop five Living Labs (LLs) across six countries, involving 24 expert partners, more than 80 farmers and 125 stakeholders. The project will test CFPs on 85-100 demo-sites in diverse farming systems and pedoclimatic zones, focusing on: 1) peatland management, 2) agroforestry, 3) maintaining and enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC), 4) livestock and manure management, and 5) nutrient, pesticides and fertilizers management.
Through collaboration with farmers, researchers, industry and local authorities, LILAS4SOILS aims to accelerate the transition to healthy soils and contribute to standardized Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) frameworks for future carbon markets.
ASOI is the coordinator of the French Living-Lab.
Consortium
A consortium of 24 partners, from a range of technical areas, representing the different stakeholders of Living Labs, dedicated to advancing soil health and ensuring a sustainable future.
OPPORTUNITIES
2 calls during the project:
- April/May 2025: call for demo-sites
- November/December 2025: call for MRV technologies
Upcoming events:
- 11th of March 2025: launch of the French LL.
Until 11th of March, you can apply to become a stakeholder in the Living Lab, so that you can keep abreast of progress on the project and influence its progress with your expertise to make it as relevant as possible.
