Green ERA-Hub Call 2024 „Crop and livestock farming meeting the challenges of climate change“
The overall objective of the Green ERA-Hub Call 2024 is to advance climate-smart agriculture for climate change adaptation, stress resilience and crop and livestock health, while ensuring the economic sustainability of agriculture.
The overall objectives include the advancement of climate smart farming for climate change adaptation, resilience to stresses, and crop and livestock health, in a context of the economic sustainability of farming. Projects should consider holistic and integrated perspectives. Innovations and practices shall be assessed with regard to the wellbeing of humans, other living organisms and overall ecological systems. The scope covers both organic and conventional farming approaches.
Call topics:
- Topic 1: Improved resilience and health of crops (funded by BMBF)
This includes projects that focus on temperate, rain-fed and irrigated cropping systems. These farming systems are often characterised by cereal production, particularly wheat and barley, grown in rotation with brassica, grain legumes or other crops. Rotational grassland and perennial crops are also included in the scope. - Topic 2: Livestock production and climate change (funded by BMEL)
This topic focusses on livestock, GHGs and climate change, addressing both, (a) solutions for climate change adaptation and (b) measurement systems for GHG emissions. The scope includes the major terrestrial livestock types (beef and dairy cattle, pigs, poultry and small ruminants).
