Turning farming into climate action: carbon markets at the centre of the Zadar international conference 

How can farming become part of the solution to climate change? This was the key question at the international conference held on 21 April at the University of Zadar, where institutions, researchers and agricultural stakeholders came together to explore the future of carbon markets in agriculture. Organised within the framework of GECO 2.2, the event marked an important milestone in the transition from pilot experiences to a structured and credible carbon trading system for the agricultural sector.
