ClieNFarms: towards carbon neutrality with farms
ClieNFarms is a European project that aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from farms. The objective is to obtain a reduction of GHG of at least 50% by 2050 so that the agricultural sector participates in achieving carbon neutrality of the territories.
The objective of "net zero" is not to emit more emissions into the air than can be compensated by sequestration (forests, agricultural soils or other means).
This project is coordinated by INRAE and brings together 33 partners, including Acta, which represents Terres Inovia, the Institut de l'élevage and Arvalis. ClieNFarms also includes private companies such as Nestlé, Danone and EDF.
The project will support farmers in reducing GHG emissions and improving soil carbon storage. Innovative systemic solutions" (levers at the farm or territorial stakeholder level) will be tested on some 20 territorial case studies across Europe (including 5 in France) and will be evaluated using modeling approaches and multi-criteria assessments.
These territorial case studies (called I3S for "innovative systemic solution space") will cover the diversity of production systems (crops, livestock, dairy products, special crops, etc.) and geographical situations (from East to West and from North to South of Europe as well as in New Zealand).
The 20 case territories of ClieNFarms, including 5 on field crops (2 in France, 1 in Belgium, 1 in UK-Ireland, 1 in Ukraine).
The solutions will be designed jointly with farmers and the surrounding social ecosystem (research and development actors, financial partners, supply chain), in order to create a favorable environment for the transition of farmers to climate neutral farms.
