On 11 April, the XXVIII General Assembly of the Forest and Land Owners Association of Lithuania (FOAL) took place, where the GFarm for Life project partners had the opportunity to present their solutions to a wide range of stakeholders gathered at the Assembly.
The event was attended by members of the Seimas Committee on Environment Audrius Radvilavičius and Simonas Gentvilas, Deputy Minister of Environment Ramūnas Krugelis, Head of the Forest Policy Group of the Ministry of Environment Aurimas Saladžius, Director of the Chamber of Agriculture of the Republic of Lithuania Sigitas Dimaitis, as well as other ecosystem stakeholders.
GFarm project partners Tomas Karvauskas and Linas Didžiulevičius, representatives of Beta Via, introduced the developed system for GHG balance monitoring and carbon credit accounting. The discussion with forest owners raised valuable questions, and the conversations with people who work in the field on a daily basis gave rise to valuable ideas for the project. The insights discussed will shape the next steps in our modelling process. It is encouraging to see a real interest in the principles of carbon farming and a real need to find solutions that work not only in theory but also in practice.
Together with our partners in the Gfarm project, we are not only developing the technology, but we are also playing an active role in shaping the European forestry sector.
