The main goal of AgroFossilFree project is to pave the way to EU agriculture de-fossilisation by diminishing fossil energy dependence while maintaining end product yield and quality and reducing environmental impact. To achieve this goal 5 specific objectives have been identified:
OBJECTIVE 1
Assessment of the current energy status in EU agriculture and identification of factors affecting innovation adoption and diffusion of FEFTS Fossil-Energy-Free Technologies and Strategies
OBJECTIVE 2
Identification and registration of available FEFTS Fossil-Energy-Free Technologies and Strategies from applied research results to market solutions and exploration of existing financing tools for de-fossilising activities
OBJECTIVE 3
Collaboration with all relevant stakeholders in thematic groups using interactive physical and online methodologies to produce community-based ideas for fossil-energy-free strategies and technologies integration in agricultural systems in a regional and EU-basis
OBJECTIVE 4
Creation of an AgEnergy online platform with all available FEFTS Fossil-Energy-Free Technologies and Strategies to be assessed by stakeholders and provision of a Decision Support Toolkit to propose interventions and financing tools
OBJECTIVE 5
Creation of policy guidelines on EU, regional and national basis and communication of them to increase visibility and promote the proposed strategies and technologies in real agricultural activity in the near future
