This funding call focuses on enhancing the sustainable management of grasslands in European livestock farming systems. It aims to support the common agricultural policy (CAP) objectives and EU Green Deal strategies, addressing challenges like sub-optimal input management, intensification, farm concentration, and abandonment of grasslands. The call seeks innovative approaches to measure, monitor, and valorize grasslands’ multifunctionality, ensuring their benefits such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity preservation, and ecosystem services. Projects should provide new strategies, tools, and solutions for sustainable grassland management and support farmers with innovative practices. Proposals must involve multi-actor approaches, include socio-economic evaluations, and engage relevant stakeholders. Collaboration with related EU projects is encouraged, alongside using tools like Earth observation data and citizen engagement.
