Carbon Farming CE brought together organisations from across central Europe to make carbon farming more accessible, practical and applicable under different agricultural conditions. Agricultural soils play an important role in tackling climate change while supporting soil health and resilient food production. Carbon farming can contribute to these goals through agricultural practices that increase carbon storage in soils and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, its wider uptake has been limited by fragmented knowledge, varying regional conditions and a lack of practical guidance for farmers and other stakeholders. Over three years, Carbon Farming CE brought together 11 organisations from nine central European countries to test and evaluate carbon farming approaches under different agricultural, climatic and soil conditions. The partnership combined research with practical experience to identify solutions that could be applied beyond individual pilot sites. The project tested seven carbon farming techniques, including cover crops, reduced tillage, crop rotation diversification, agroforestry and organic fertilisation. A total of 36 field trials provided evidence on their feasibility, potential impact on carbon sequestration and soil quality, and acceptance by farmers. The results were transformed into practical guidance and decision-support tools for farmers and agricultural advisors. Carbon Farming CE also developed and tested carbon farming business models, exploring how cooperation between farmers, businesses, public authorities, research organisations and other actors could support the wider adoption of carbon farming. In parallel, the project developed a common methodology for monitoring soil carbon sequestration, designed for different levels of assessment – from farmer self-monitoring to more advanced external evaluation. Knowledge transfer was an important part of the project. 27 capacity-building seminars in nine countries reached more than 800 participants, while 50 farmers implemented and evaluated carbon farming practices on their farms. To support long-term uptake, the partnership developed a Strategy and Action Plan for Carbon Farming Development in central Europe and established the Central European Carbon Farming Cluster. By project completion, 62 organisations from nine countries had endorsed the Strategy and Action Plan, creating a basis for continued cooperation and further mainstreaming of carbon farming after the project.
