Climate friendly farms preparing for departure
The SOLMACC[i] project is in full swing: all farms participating in the five year demonstration period have been found and are currently being visited by a team of researchers and extensionists to determine the precise farming techniques to be applied from autumn 2014.
In a recent meeting of the project steering committee of the SOLMACC (June 11 to 12) in Freising, Germany, experiences and impressions from the first farm visits were shared and demonstrated that all farmers are highly committed to use their farms for the demonstration of climate friendly practices.
