CARBON 4 SOIL QUALITY PLUS (C4SQ+) is an Interreg Euro-MED testing project that builds on the results of the CARBON 4 SOIL QUALITY study phase. Its main objective is to test and validate carbon farming practices under diverse Mediterranean agroecological conditions and support their wider adoption to improve soil quality, increase soil organic matter and contribute to climate change mitigation.<\/p>

Building on the knowledge, methodologies and recommendations developed during the study phase, the project moves from research to practice through pilot activities implemented across seven Mediterranean countries. Project partners will test different carbon farming techniques in real-life conditions, monitor their effects on soil quality and carbon sequestration, and evaluate their environmental, social and economic impacts.<\/p>

Particular attention will be given to the development and validation of carbon farming socio-economic models, the establishment of Carbon Farming Living Labs, the engagement of farmers, advisors and other stakeholders, and the creation of practical decision-support tools. Based on the results of the pilot activities, the project will deliver a mediterranean Carbon Farming Technique Catalogue, a web-based Decision Support Tool, Guidelines for Carbon Farming Socio-Economic Models, training materials, and a Transnational Carbon Farming Strategy to support the wider uptake of carbon farming across the Mediterranean region.<\/p>

The project brings together nine partners from Slovenia, Italy, Greece, Spain, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Cyprus. The\nAgricultural Institute of Slovenia acts as the Lead Partner and is responsible for the overall project coordination, communication\nactivities and the implementation of pilot testing activities in Slovenia. The UKIM Institute of Agriculture in Skopje, in the C4S!+\nProject, acts as a Project Partner responsible for pilot testing of selected carbon farming impacts in North Macedonia and\nassessment of its impact on soil quality and GHG emissions, will contribute to farmer awareness via training materials and\nprogrammes and support the strategy drafting, policy outreach and joint recommendations to strengthen EU carbon-farming policy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
