Executing research and innovation strategies


We coordinate multidisciplinary research teams, and we drive research processes and products in order to inspire transformative policies.

Global food systems are increasingly intertwined and inextricably linked to our ability to conserve natural resources and mitigate climate change. To help navigating the complex issues at stake, we generate original analysis, from market research to stakeholder mapping, from problem perception to decision-support reporting. With our team of data scientists we also participate in the development of scalable solution based on Earth Observation and Artificial Intelligence, with the goal of accelerating the uptake of innovations in the food supply chain, from farm to fork.

Our ongoing projects

Farms4Climate

Smart governance and operational tools for agroecological carbon farming.

Funded by PRIMA, H2020, this project started in April 2022 with a duration of 36 months. The project is validating potential carbon schemes as a mechanism to accelerate the diffusion of regenerative farming practices in the Mediterranean.


Credible

Building momentum and trust for the implementation of carbon farming in the EU.

Funded by the EU Soil Mission, this project started in June 2023 with a duration of 36 months. The project aims at coordinating a network of initiatives and stakeholders for sharing best practices for trustworthy carbon farming markets and policies.


MARVIC

Developing and testing a framework for the design of harmonized, context-specific MRV systems for soil carbon and greenhouse gas balances by agricultural activities.

Funded by the EU Soil Mission, this project started in June 2023 with a duration of 48 months. The project focuses on fundamental research on technologies and processes to allow robust carbon accounting.

GOV4ALL

Rural regeneration hubs for healthier soils in the Mediterranean region

Funded by the EU Soil Mission, this project started in June 2024 with a duration of 54 months. The project aims to achieve an agricultural system that can generate income for rural communities while protecting natural resources, with a focus on regenerating the soil.
