Quantifying the impact of farming practices on soil health in arable lands
Funds research to quantify how different and combined farming practices affect soil health across the EU's arable land, feeding into CAP policy.
This topic funds one Research and Innovation Action through a single-stage process, so applicants submit one full proposal by the deadline rather than a short-listing round first. The European Commission has set the topic's 2025 budget at EUR 6,000,000 and expects to fund exactly one project with that amount. Proposals must apply the multi-actor approach and are asked to consult national agricultu…
The funder wants quantified links between farming practices — such as no-tillage or organic fertilisation — and soil health indicators like biodiversity, carbon storage and water retention, mapped across the EU's pedoclimatic regions. It wants a dynamic model that compares individual and combined farming strategies against Common Agricultural Policy measures.
