CROP Matching

A thematic network to boost small-scale sustainable farming through sustainable cropping practices

What We Offer

Curated practices, evidence-based training, and regional community support for small scale farmers and advisors

Curated Practices

Evidence-based sustainable cropping practices validated by research and on-farm demonstrations across Europe.

Short Training Modules

10-35 minute courses designed for busy farmers, with practical checklists and certificates.

Regional Communities

Connect with Working Groups across 13 countries for local events, peer exchange, and advisory support.

Multilingual Resources

Content in English and local languages, with terminology aligned to EIP-AGRI and AGROVOC standards.

Our Approach

01 - Curate & Validate

Editorial board selects practices from trusted sources (EIP-AGRI, FAO TECA, Organic Farm Knowledge) and validates evidence levels.

02 - Localize & Deliver

Translate content, adapt to regional contexts, and deliver via web portal, training modules, and regional working groups.

03 - Support Adoption

Provide clear first steps, printable checklists, prerequisite warnings, and verification to turn learning into on-farm action.

About the Project

CROPMATCHING is an EU Horizon project bringing together partners from 10 EU member states and 3 associated countries: Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Netherlands, Cyprus, Denmark, Norway, United Kingdom, and Turkey.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between research-proven sustainable practices and on-the ground adoption by smallholder farmers and foresters.

We focus on practical knowledge that improves soil health, reduces inputs, enhances biodiversity, and supports climate adaptation—aligned with the EU Common Agricultural Policy and Green Deal objectives.
