Climatic impact of forage production on organic and mineral soils 2020-2023

ORMINURMI 01

Finland pledges to become carbon neutral by 2035 and agriculture can contribute to this aim. ORMINURMI –project will study the forage systems and their management practices using scientifically valid methods to enhance the soil organic carbon sequestration, reduce the carbon and nitrogen emissions and thus improve the climatic impact of cattle farming. Based on the findings, we aim to improve the carbon neutral management practices on mineral soils and reduce the emission potentials on organic soils. The aim of this project is to create optimal and comprehensive solutions that consider production and economical aspects as well as environmental effectiveness.
