Project CREDIBLE

Project CREDIBLE aims to foster faith in carbon farming across the EU. By connecting existing initiatives, stakeholders, and projects, CREDIBLE aims to form a Network of Networks (NoN) that fosters transparency, environmental integrity, and harmonised approaches to soil carbon accounting.

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. Through the action, four specific objectives will be achieved:

1. Build and disseminate a practical toolbox for promoting carbon farming, capable of taking into account local land uses, best practices, and multi-actor interests;

2. Identify standards, certification mechanisms, and policy instruments to support carbon farming initiatives;
3. Establishment of a network of soil carbon data collectors and repositories to improve measuring and monitoring carbon dynamics;
4. Drive conversations for the upscaling of carbon farming.

CREDIBLEs 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.

EURAF will lead efforts to consolidate best practices in agriculture, agroforestry, and forestry for soil carbon sequestration, and help develop an accessible framework to share this knowledge with key stakeholders.
