New information and action through joint development
In the project concise and practical fact-based information about regenerative farming is produced for the farmers. In addition, companies need information on the principles of carbon farming; allowing, for example, including them in the companies’ sourcing criteria and developing new, even carbon neutral, products. Furthermore, companies must be encouraged to educate their contract farmers and to produce information for the consumers.
The information produced will be delivered to the farmers and companies in the form of trainings, advisory work, meetings, demonstrations, articles as well as other types of communication. Furthermore, the project aims to build open communication and constructive dialogue between the different actors, such as decision-makers, farmers, researchers, and companies. Consequently, the actors will acquire better understanding of what is needed from each of them to achieve change. Additionally, colliding the different actors and co-development brings new points of view; as the amount of information grows, sustainable treatment of the soil and carbon farming will become increasingly more commonplace.
