Abstract
The project team aims to increase knowledge and to enable the practical experience that are required to direct cultivation methods towards increased CO2 sequestration. It targets farmers, agricultural advisors, and a variety of actors involved at different stages of the agricultural value chain such as traders, logistic providers and retail managers. The project team sets up six demonstration trials and evaluates the data collected throughout them. Their aim is to showcase best practice on the buildup of humus through legumes, agroforestry, lucerne and clover. Furthermore, the team offers trainings to increase knowledge on the methods and techniques for improved carbon sequestration, especially on livestock-free farms, for target group members. Additionally, two videos, integrated in Naturland’s training platform, and several articles in agricultural magazines spread knowledge on CO2 sequestration beyond the target group.
