How can agriculture in Europe be supported in a sustainable manner in the face of ever-increasing competition for financial resources? The debate on the shape of the European Union’s (EU) Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for the period 2028 to 2034 has been in full swing in political, social and academic circles since the European Commission published its legislative proposals for the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) and for the CAP in July 2025.

The project supports the German Environment Agency (UBA) in developing an integrated process framework for the climate resilience of critical infrastructure that matters at municipal and regional level. It is designed as a practical guide, developed together with selected model municipalities. It will identify gaps between policy areas, propose ways to define protection goals and levels, and recommend governance structures across federal, state and local levels. The work follows a transdisciplinary approach, in which authorities, operators, municipalities and researchers act as co-producers of knowledge rather than only as consultees.

The transition towards a sustainable and circular bioeconomy is central to achieving Europe’s climate, biodiversity and resilience goals. However, stakeholder engagement and coordination across the European bioeconomy landscape remain uneven, particularly across regions and sectors. STRONGBIONET addresses these challenges by strengthening and connecting bioeconomy networks across Europe and beyond. The project will establish an EU-wide, multilingual digital platform designed as a “network of networks” to support stakeholder engagement, knowledge exchange, investor readiness, education and science-policy dialogue.

With the EU Nature Restoration Regulation, Member States are now required to restore ecosystems, including agricultural ecosystems, while ensuring that restoration is practical, socially grounded and compatible with viable farming systems. The Horizon Europe project BALANCE supports this challenge by demonstrating how farming systems can be nature-positive while remaining economically viable and embedded in local realities.

This project provides scientific support for the NKI funding portfolio and the further development of its funding programmes over the period 2026 to 2030, against the backdrop of tightening public budgets and growing questions around public acceptance of ambitious climate action. Specific tasks ahead include the revision of the Municipal Directive (Kommunalrichtlinie), which expires at the end of 2027, the merging of the two funding calls for model solutions, and support for the new funding call for pioneering municipalities working towards a greenhouse gas neutral municipal administration.

A key focus of the project is extending the lifespan of everyday goods by enabling them to be passed on to new users instead of being discarded after their first use. This approach helps conserve valuable resources, reduces waste generation, and contributes to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

The AF4VALUE project addresses these barriers by developing and testing approaches that can strengthen agroforestry value chains and improve the economic viability of agroforestry for farmers and rural communities. The project focuses on practical innovation, business models, financial incentives, certification-related technologies and policy conditions that can support the agroecological transition.

This project aims to ensure that the overdue national penalty regimes under the EU Methane Regulation (EUMR), and their enforcement, are sufficiently effective and dissuasive to make full compliance the default rational choice for all companies subject to the EUMR. This is necessary to avoid a race to the lowest level of ambition that would undermine the EUMR's ability to reduce methane emissions in the EU Member States as well as in the countries from which the EU imports fossil fuels.
