PROJECTS
SZOK participates in national and European projects that contribute to the development of conservation and regenerative agriculture, improving soil health, reducing erosion, and transferring knowledge between researchers, advisors, and farmers. Through projects, we connect science and practice and promote the sustainable development of Slovenian agriculture.
TRAILS4SOIL (2025–2030) is a Horizon Europe Mission Soil project designed to accelerate the uptake of regenerative and conservation agriculture. Through a network of around 100 Living Labs and demonstration sites in nine European countries, it develops knowledge, tools and support programmes to improve soil health and the resilience of farming systems.
The project Conservation Agriculture System for Organic Production without Herbicides (2025–2028) develops and tests innovative approaches to weed control without herbicides or intensive tillage. It brings together farmers, advisers and experts to develop sustainable solutions for healthy soils, greater biodiversity and successful organic production.
REGINA (2021–2024) was an Erasmus+ project dedicated to promoting regenerative agriculture and disseminating good practices in sustainable soil management. The project brought together partners from five European countries and helped raise awareness of regenerative agriculture among students, professionals and farmers.
C-FARMING (2024–2027) is an Erasmus+ project that promotes the development of knowledge and skills for carbon farming and sustainable soil management. The project connects education, research and practice and develops innovative training for farmers, advisers and other agricultural professionals.
The project Inter-row Cover Crops for Healthy Plants and Sustainable Soil Use (2025–2028) develops and tests innovative practices involving inter-row cover crops to improve plant health, soil fertility and the resilience of agricultural production. It connects farmers and experts in developing sustainable solutions for more efficient use of natural resources and the long-term competitiveness of Slovenian agriculture.
Waste4Soil (2023–2027) is a Horizon Europe project developing innovative solutions to convert food-processing residues into soil improvers. It promotes the circular economy, reduces waste and contributes to healthier soils and more sustainable food systems across Europe.
