- ZeroCO2MED – Transition towards climate-neutral Interreg MED projects 2021-2022 (Interreg MED programme 2014-2020).
- ZeroCO2MED project emerged due to the growing need to evaluate the performance of public funded projects, not only in terms of scientific outputs but also from a sustainable perspective. To this end, ZeroCO2MED aims to estimate the project’s carbon emissions and, therefore, their current and future contribution to achieve climate neutrality. ZeroCO2MED intends to move forward on quantifying and monitoring sustainability and advance on how public funded projects can support territories achieving, at the same time, the targets set in the EU Green Deal.
- The main outputs of ZeroCO2MED project will be: (i) the development of a carbon footprint accounting/mitigation/compensation methodology covering WHO, HOW, WHEN and WHAT to measure when assessing the carbon Footprint of projects and (ii) a user-friendly software that includes the accounting methodology and tools to facilitate the decision-making process for the implementation of cost-effective carbon footprint mitigation strategies and high-quality options to offset the remaining emissions.
- The results obtained will help to understand the project’s carbon emissions and their current and future contribution to achieve climate neutrality. ZeroCO2MED will be a leap forward on how sustainability is integrated at the heart of INTERREG MED projects and how their outputs can support territories as well as national and regional policies to achieve the targets set in the EU Green Deal ZeroCO2MED is formed by highly qualified and transdisciplinary partnership covering all required fields of expertise (e.g., greenhouse gases emissions, methodology development, optimization of environmental performance, programming and modelling as well as skills in communication and training).

(EN), EU Life Project “Carbon Farming Scheme” (2020-2022)
- The goal of the LIFE Carbon Farming Scheme project is to identify and accelerate the development and adoption of novel incentives for carbon sequestration and the increase and maintenance of the organic carbon stock in soil and biomass in Europe.
- State-of-the-art science provides the baseline and backbone for the project in determining the practical methods in farming and forestry which could be included in the incentive schemes and qualify for result-based payment. The project will build and test incentive schemes relying on the available verification methods for carbon stocks in soil and biomass. Further critical considerations are the stability of the stock, carbon leakage and, with particular relevance for marketable carbon credits, additionality – the true increase in the carbon stock compared to business-as-usual. The project also maintains that the measures have to be sustainable also in terms of their overall environmental and socio-economic impacts.
- The project will engage practitioners as well as authorities and other competent actors to test and evaluate the proposed incentives as well as their scalability across different pedo-climatic zones in Europe. With the aim of promoting a well-functioning voluntary carbon market complementing the regulated climate actions, the project will uncover the key factors in supply and demand and outline measures to invite the private sector to accelerate climate action.
- The results of the project will be fed into the development of the EU agricultural and climate policies. (FR), EU Life Project “Carbon Farming Scheme” (2020-2022)

- The goal of TRANSITION is to pave the way towards a resilient agriculture in the Mediterranean Region, maximizing positive impacts on the environment while increasing resilience of agroecosystems and rural societies. This is done by analysing the most relevant innovative solutions in resilient agroforestry and mixed farming systems using a participatory approach.
- TRANSITION will identify appropriate strategies to: (i) improve resilience of the agriculture sector, (ii) establish what are the environmental and socio-economic barriers to resilient agriculture implementation, (iii) quantify the delivery of ecosystem services and empower the expansion of agroforestry and mixed farming systems through practical innovation and knowledge exchange, and (iv) provide robust information, useful for administrations in terms of measurable impacts and possible transition scenarios.
- The power of TRANSITION is to begin with a large base of existing systems and improve understanding and increase the resilience of those with innovative strategies, with interventions at the farm (“bottom-up”) and policy levels (“top-down”). The project focuses on two agricultural systems: agroforestry and mixed farming systems, across a range of cultural and pedo-climatic conditions in 5 Mediterranean regions in Spain, Italy, Algeria, Egypt, and France. The study regions are Catalonia (Spain), Sétif (Algeria), Sicily (Italy), the Behia and Kafr Elsheihk Governates of Egypt, and Southwest France, for a total of three regions in the North Mediterranean and two in the South.
- Using a participatory approach, TRANSITION identifies and exploits the local strategies and biological resources which are most promising for guaranteeing incomes and farm resilience. In each region, the multi-actor approach is integrated into project design by the involvement of stakeholders and practitioners.

- In line with the Zero Pollution action plan, the “Farm to Fork” strategy and the new Fertilising Product Regulation, NOVAFERT will demonstrate the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility and safe use of a wide portfolio of at least 25 alternative fertilizing products, containing recovered nutrients from all 6 different waste streams mentioned in the call, with the goal of facilitating the replacement of synthetic and mineral fertilisers. The environmental aspect will be covered by developing guidelines and a consensual method for environmental assessment of alternative fertilising products. The economic aspect will be covered by co-creating novel, circular and green business models. As such, NOVAFERT will reduce environmental impacts and external nutrient dependence in agriculture in 6 representative countries from Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern and Central Europe.
- NOVAFERT will map existing alternative fertilising products across Europe and develop an Atlas of the nutrient-oriented living labs, and also will support the development of sustainable local value chains. NOVAFERT will bring together the necessary information for efficient and safe utilizing of alternative fertilising products to help decision-making on valorisation employed in nutrient recovery.

- PEFMED stands for “Sharing and transferring Product Environmental Footprint experiences and methods to neighbouring countries of the Adriatic agrifood sector”. The overall objectives of the PEFMED PLUS project are to: (i) increase the awareness about the environmental impact of traditional food productions, (ii) deliver a training program on outputs previously gained with PEFMED project, (iii) perform knowledge transfer to agri-food producers, clusters, and public institutions, and (iv) ratify protocols and memorandums of understanding with the above-mentioned target groups to ensure an after-life plan.
- PEFMED Plus also tackles the reduction of the environmental footprint in agrofood sector. These projects allowed to develop assessment environmental impact tools for the olive oil, packed water and wine sectors, and also to train European partners (of the Mediterranean region) on the subject of the PEF methodology.
