Building credibility and value for Europe's carbon farming transition

As Europe prepares for the 3rd European Carbon Farming Summit, which will take place in Padua (17–19 March 2026), now is the moment to look back at the lessons and priorities that emerged from last year’s Dublin summit. Both in person and online, the 2025 event brought together over 1,000 farmers, policymakers, researchers, and businesses to share lessons learnt and shape a credible, inclusive approach to carbon farming in Europe. Across 41 sessions, participants produced 165 recommendations – a unique snapshot of stakeholder priorities as Europe begins implementing the Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming Regulation (CRCF).
