Innovative biomass production for energy integrated into traditional agri-forestry systems

Sourcing Low-iLUC Feedstock from Innovative Oilseed Crops: the First Results of the Horizon EU project CARINA

Short Introductive summary

The Horizon Europe project CARINA (2022-26) is focused on two innovative oilseed crops: carinata (Brassica carinata L. Brown) and camelina (Camelina sativa L. Crantz). Three different cropping systems including the two crops have been identified as the most promising: cash-cover cropping; intercropping; cropping in marginal land. By adopting these cropping systems, farmers would be able to produce domestic and low-ILUC feedstocks in fallow or marginal land.
