This study on regenerative agriculture explores the climate impact of current Fertiliser, Agrochemical, Tillage, Bare-soil, Agricultural Systems (FATBAS).

It takes the position that FATBAS is a significant factor in both driving the immediate land-based climate change impacts we are seeing, including ‘global drying’, drought, heating, flooding, fire and heat domes, and increasing the risks of extreme weather events.

FATBAS, by driving down soil carbon and related stored water, reduces the evapotranspiration of plants. This in turn reduces land-based moisture circulation in the form of rainfall. Evapotranspiration of plants cools the planet’s surface areas, whereas sunlight on bare soils heats both the region and the atmosphere.

It calls for FATBAS to be replaced by regenerative agriculture.

HOOP Urban Circular Bioeconomy Hub

The Urban Circular Bioeconomy Hub is operated by the HOOP project. It provides resources and tools to improve the exploitation of biowaste and wastewater by cities and regions.

Users can:

  • network with municipalities and waste/wastewater management companies around Europe.
  • evaluate their circular performance and the financial attractiveness and maturity level of your circular projects.
  • make use of resources related to the implementation of urban circular bioeconomy solutions, including handbooks, manuals, factsheets and videos on technologies and financial engineering for circular bioeconomy projects.
  • get technical support from project developers and investors and mobilise green financing.
  • register for the forum and put questions to the circular bioeconomy community.
