The aim of the AgroFossilFree project is to create a framework under which critical stakeholders will cooperate to evaluate and promote currently available Fossil-Energy-Free Strategies and Technologies (FEFTS) in EU agriculture to diminish in the short term and eliminate in the long run fossil fuels use in any farming process from cradle to farm gate, while maintaining yield and quality of the end-product.

Such a framework will contribute in closing the gap between the available FEFTS either commercial or from applicable research results with the everyday EU agricultural practices by promoting effective exchange of novel ideas and information between research, industry, extension and the farming community so that existing research and commercial solutions can be widely communicated, while capturing grassroots level needs and innovative ideas from the farming and related industry communities. Financing opportunities for de-fossilizing EU agriculture will be investigated and highlighted.

AGENSO is designing and developing the AgEnergy Platform, the virtual test-bed and the web portal and web collaboration tool (WP4). Additionally, AGENSO contributes in the registration of FEFTS (WP2), in conducting workshops (WP3), and in the project’s dissemination and communication (WP5).
