As part of the communication and networking actions of LIFE-AgrOassis, an online meeting was held on May 19, 2025 with the LIFE-DIMITRA team, focused on the exchange of ideas, experiences, and good practices.
The two projects share common goals, particularly in promoting sustainable approaches for the production of bio-fertilisers, establishing pilot composting and bio-fertiliser units, and disseminating knowledge to the agricultural community.
Fostering collaboration between LIFE projects is a key step towards strenghtening the implementation of effective environmental solutions at the European level.
During the meeting, Panagiotis Dalias, Coordinator of LIFE-AgrOassis, presented the project’s objectives, actions, and progress to date. This was followed by a constructive discussion and mutual exchange of insights between participants. Representatives from the Department of Agriculture, KES Research Center, the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania (MAICh), and Paradeisiotis Ltd also took part in the meeting.

LIFE-OLIVER - OLIve tree for Verified Emission Reduction generation project aims to develop and certify an international standard that allows olive oil producers to access the carbon credit market, enabling olive farms to sell their carbon certificates obtained through the adoption of specific agronomic practices. The project is coordinated by the University of Perugia and is funded under the European Union’s LIFE Programme, with the participation of 11 partners from Italy, Spain, and Greece.
The project has the ambition to have a substantial impact on the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) balance of the Mediterranean olive crop, considering that this crop covers about 5 million hectares in the EU and that therefore an improvement in the GHG balance of this crop would have a significant overall impact. To support this purpose, LIFE-OLIVER aims to develop a financial incentive based on the sale of carbon credits, resulting from the adoption of a carbon farming approach in olive grove management, on the voluntary carbon credit market.

The purpose of the LIFE-ResLand – Adapt and Promote a Resilient and Firewise Living Landscape project is to promote a resilient landscape, adapted to climate change, implemented in the Cascais area of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, Portugal. The initiative coordinated by Cascais Ambiente is one of the Portuguese projects receiving support from the European Commission’s LIFE Program, co-financed at 60%. With a budget of around 3.8 million euros, LIFE ResLand has ICNF – Instituto da Conservação da Natureza e das Florestas (Institute for Nature and Forest Conservation) and Civil Protection as partners. The project will run for six years and is scheduled to end in September 2029. It aims to be a model that can be replicated both nationally and internationally, and an example of good practice.
