Strategies for Organic and Low input farming to Mitigate and Adapt to Climate Change – SOLMACC

In the LIFE project SOLMACC (Strategies for Organic and Low input farming to Mitigate and Adapt to Climate Change), twelve organic farms in Sweden, Germany and Italy apply climate-friendly practices and are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 15% compared to average farms under similar climatic conditions, as well as improve adaption to the negative effects of climate change. The applied practices include:

– optimised on-farm nutrient recycling

– optimised crop rotation

– reduced tillage

– agroforestry

They are adapted to the specific climatic area and farm conditions and are closely monitored by scientists.
