The trans4num project continues to drive sustainable agricultural transformation through stakeholder engagement and collaborative research. Recent events in the United Kingdom and Hungary have highlighted the importance of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), soil health, and regenerative agriculture in tackling global agricultural challenges.
Soil Organic Carbon Workshop at Rothamsted Research
On February 12, 2025, Rothamsted Research (RRes) in Harpenden, UK, hosted a local stakeholder engagement event focused on soil organic carbon. With 25 advisors and five farmers in attendance, discussions centered on:
