Projects & Practice

CAP funds help identify opportunities for improving localised linen production.

An EIP Operational Group worked on upscaling the production of Plasma Activated Water (PAW) and on demonstrating its effectiveness and cost efficiency as a sustainable nitrogen fertiliser.

A pig meat producing short supply chain developed a marketing strategy to strengthen its brand and increase demand for its high-quality products.

Developing a Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) in the Netherlands as an alternative to formal certification for small producers operating in short supply chains.

An EIP Operational Group developed and tested a unique end-to-end agroforestry production process that is sustainable, profitable for the farm and the processing company, and which benefits consumers through products made in a way that supports the environment.

An EIP Operational Group worked on the reintroduction of ancient wheat species in the context of current practices applied at farm level.

This project combined state-of-the-art sensoring techniques and models with a participatory monitoring process with farmers and water authorities to create a common understanding of the main local challenges and possible solutions to enhance water quality. In addition, the process empowered individual farmers to become equal partners with water authorities as they gained knowledge and access to data. Problems with water management differ between regions, but the process of jointly collecting, learning from and acting on data can be applied across regions.
 

A cooperative venture to develop a new generation energy efficient, thermo-regulated, shed for cattle housing.

Setting up collaborative water system measures and a governance approach to increase self-sufficiency of freshwater availability for agriculture.
