Credible

The main goal of the project Credible is to build momentum and trust for the implementation of carbon farming in the EU. This is being achieved by setting up and moderating a network of projects and stakeholders for favouring transparency, environmental integrity, and methodology standardisation in soil carbon accounting. Such a network will be responsible for pushing forward multiple discussions (articulated around three main themes: which practises; what standards; how to monitor) and is expected to evolve from a mostly technical/scientific network at the onset of the project, into a process catalysing policy making and business innovation towards its end. 

The transparent, open access, multi actor dialogues required to build trust and co-create solutions will be orchestrated around three annual European Carbon Farming Summits, which will present opportunities for the network to interact with the broader stakeholder community and grow to the point it would attract further fundings for long term sustainability. Credible's ambition is to support the European Commission and the Expert Group on Carbon Removal in the identification and upscale of solutions for soil carbon farming.

The project Credible is a research and innovation action funded by the European Union (Horizon Europe programme) to support the implementation of the EU Mission 'A Soil Deal for Europe' (Mission Soil) and started in June 2023 with a duration of 36 months. The consortium is composed of 21 members from nine countries across Europe, and the project is coordinated by SAE Innova, that also leads the communication and dissemination work package.
