Serbia Resilient Landscape Call

EIT Food is launching a call to recruit a consortium to design and deliver the First Regenerative Agriculture Landscape in Serbia from 2026 to 2028. The initiative aims to enable a measurable transition from conventional to regenerative farming systems in the Vojvodina region through farmer engagement, MRV-based evidence, and value chain collaboration. 

The selected consortium will deliver an integrated landscape model across five work packages: project management and coordination, MRV system design and deployment, farmer training and advisory services, soil analysis, and PR and marketing for retail. 

The project will support a defined group of farmers recruited by corporate partners, scaling from approximately 11 farmers and 1,430 hectares in 2026 to 27 farmers and 3,750 hectares by 2028. The consortium will be responsible for operationalising farmer engagement, delivering advisory services, deploying MRV systems, and ensuring the generation of robust, verifiable data on environmental and socio-economic impact.

The landscape will generate measurable improvements in soil health, greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity and farmer livelihoods, while supporting corporate sustainability reporting aligned with European and international frameworks. The initiative also aims to build long-term resilience in agricultural supply chains and establish a scalable model for regenerative agriculture across Europe. 

The total available funding is €549,280 over the 2026–2028 period, with EIT Food providing catalytic funding complemented by corporate co-investment. Applications must be submitted by consortia capable of delivering across all work packages and operating within a collaborative, multi-partner landscape model.
