Assistant professor dr Aleksandar Sekulić and teaching assistant Ognjen Antonijević represent the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Belgrade, in a consortium with Agri Marketplace (Portugal), The Association Of Balkan Eco Innovations (Serbia), and GILAB d.o.o. (Serbia), which recently received funding for the project titled „Developing Carbon Offset Certification and Trading Platform for Mediterranean Carbon Farming“ under the EIT Food call.
The project addresses the following challenges: De-risk transition to Regenerative Agriculture (Reg Agri) for farmers, Reduce the cost of Reg Agri transition to business and consumers, and Demonstrate improvement in Soil Health & Biodiversity, by establishing a high-quality Carbon offsets certification and trading platform for the Mediterranean with focus on olives and almonds. These crops have a high potential to capture carbon in biomass and soil and reduce GHG emissions from production when regenerative practices are applied.

We wish the team success in implementing the project!
