INNO4CFIS

INNO4CFIS – Nature-Based Business Model and Emerging Innovations to enhance Carbon Farming Initiatives (CFIs) while preserving Biodiversity, Water Security and Soil Health

The project has two main objectives:

1) to promote reforestation practices (agroforestry) to increase CO2 storage, making more efficient and sustainable use of desalinated water, dryland and soil restoration and promotion of biodiversity,

2) finance highly innovative technologies promoted by small/medium-sized enterprises located in EU countries, in the framework of carbon credit trading.

In order to achieve the set objectives, a living hub will be set up at the Santa Paolina experimental farm – CNR, located in Follonica (GR). The installation will include the planting of cypress and olive trees whose productivity and state of health in response to stress will be monitored.

Other CNR institutes collaborate in the project, specifically IPSP with Gianni Della Rocca and IBE with Sabrina Palanti.
