The four ERA-NETs SusAn (Sustainable Animal Production Systems), FACCE ERA-GAS (Monitoring and Mitigation of Greenhouse Gases from Agriculture and Silviculture), ICT-AGRI-FOOD and SusCrop (Sustainable Crop Production) have coordinated and aligned efforts in areas of mutual interest and established a joint transnational funding initiative in the field of agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) research, focusing on circularity in mixed crops and livestock farming systems with emphasis on climate change mitigation and adaptation.
The overall expected impact of projects funded under this call is to enhance circularity between crop and livestock farming systems.
Proposals must cover all the four points that follow:
Focus on mixed crop-livestock farming systems.
Address the monitoring and/or mitigation of GHGs from agriculture or agroforestry.
Contain an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) dimension.
After peer review and ranking of the 39 eligible full proposals by the International Evaluation Committee, the funders recommended 9 projects for funding within the limits of available national/regional funding.
