This funding call aims to address the significant challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector, specifically targeting methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). By improving monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) tools, the initiative seeks to integrate these insights into agricultural policies, enhance mitigation measures, and promote their widespread adoption by farmers and stakeholders.
Proposals should focus on developing harmonized metrics and field experiments to assess MRV tool accuracy. They should also improve understanding of the interaction between direct GHG emissions and other environmental pollutants. Additional emphasis is placed on the lifecycle analysis of emissions from fertilization practices and the impact of climate change on agricultural emissions. Collaboration with international partners and other Horizon Europe projects is strongly encouraged to foster a comprehensive approach.

This funding opportunity represents a pre-agreed draft that has not yet been officially approved by the European Commission. The final, approved version is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2025. This draft is provided for informational purposes and may be used to preliminarily form consortia and develop project ideas, but it is offered without any guarantees or warranties.
Expected Outcome
• Improved MRV tools for non-CO2 GHG emissions at the farm level
• Comprehensive integration of MRV insights into agricultural policy
• Enhanced understanding of non-CO2 GHG emissions in response to agricultural practices
• New mitigation measures widely shared and applied in practice
Scope
In 2021, the EU agricultural sector accounted for approximately 11% of total greenhouse gas emissions. This call focuses on reducing emissions from agricultural practices such as manure management, livestock feeding, soil tillage, and fertilizer use. Proposals must develop harmonized MRV tools and assess trade-offs between emission mitigation measures and environmental impacts.
