This international research project focused on circular mixed farming modelling frameworks.
The goal of the project was to produce open-source environmental and economic assessment frameworks for field, farm, and product levels to build digital decision support for farmers and policymakers.
Avoin with partners from Ireland, Germany, France, Netherlands, Poland, Estonia, New Zealand, and Chile did research on circular mixed farming and its impact on GHG emissions. Avoin´s work included digitalising an open-source farm sustainability assessment methodology, adapting the default values and emission factors to Finland, contributing to socioeconomic survey design, as well as establishing an Open Farm Data Repository for the project outputs.
Avoin´s work in the project was 70% funded by Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Finland, as part of the ERA-NET scheme, which supports the bottom-up coordination of national and regional programmes in the European Union.
Status and news
The work is continued in the HOLOSEU project for a prototype software, funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Finland, as part of the ICT Agri-Food – ERA-Net scheme. National pilot projects are under development, but not financed yet.
