Call for Farmers to Contribute to the LILAS4SOILS Project

EIT Food South invites farmers to participate in the LILAS4SOILS project, a Horizon Europe-funded initiative aiming to foster carbon farming practices through Living Labs in the Mediterranean and Southern EU. The project will establish 5 Living Labs across Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Greece, and Israel, promoting collaboration among farmers, agri-food businesses, researchers, and local authorities. Selected farmers will co-create and implement carbon farming practices on 1 to 5 hectares over a 4-year period, share historical and monitoring data, and receive €5,000 per year for 3 years as compensation. The initiative focuses on enhancing soil organic carbon and developing sustainable business models.
