ReForest at the 3rd European Carbon Farming Summit
2026-03-17 - 2026-03-19
ReForest is pleased to announce its participation in the 3rd European Carbon Farming Summit, Europe’s leading event focused on advancing regenerative agriculture and low-carbon farming solutions. This pivotal gathering will bring together researchers, policymakers, economic actors, NGOs, land managers, and carbon project developers to shape the future of sustainable agriculture.
Building on the success of the 2025 edition held in Dublin, where ReForest also took part, the 2026 summit will take place from 17 to 19 March in Padua, Italy. The 3rd Summit programme emphasises collaboration and dialogue to support robust climate action in farming. The summit offers a crucial space to discuss carbon farming implementation, ensuring environmental integrity while scaling up impact.
Participants will:

Explore the latest innovations in carbon farming and soil health
Connect with a diverse network of practitioners, scientists, and policymakers
Discover practical strategies for implementing regenerative agricultural practices
Examine how agroforestry systems can play a key role in climate resilience and carbon sequestration

We look forward to engaging with fellow participants in Padua and contributing to the collective advancement of carbon farming and agroforestry in Europe.

9th International Symposium on Woody Root Research
2026-06-03 - 2026-06-05 | Como, Italy
ReForest is honored to take part in Woody Roots IX, an international symposium on the physiological processes in roots of woody plants. The event gathers leading researchers, practitioners, and students from around the globe to discuss root-driven sustainability, soil–root interactions, technological innovations in root research, and links to agroforestry systems.
At the symposium, the ReForest project will be presented by our project coordinator offering insights into how agroforestry and root system science intersect in the context of climate resilience and sustainable land management.
Follow the conference programme for keynote talks, oral sessions, poster presentations, and a field visit — all set in the scenic surroundings of Como.

EURAF 2026: Advancing Agroforestry for People and Planet
2026-06-22 - 2026-06-26
The 8th European Agroforestry Conference (EURAF 2026) will take place on 22-26 June 2026, hosted at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. As a major gathering for scientists, farmers, and policymakers, the conference will focus on scaling agroforestry solutions that meet Europe’s social, environmental, and food security goals.
EURAF Conferences are held every two years and draw over 400 participants from across Europe and beyond. The 2026 edition will emphasize practical knowledge exchange, scientific dialogue, and informal collaboration—all in the scenic setting of Switzerland’s Jura region.
In the 2026 conference edition, which is in the final month of the project implementation, ReForest partners will contribute findings from our Living Labs, present the digital tools developed under the project, and participate in key discussions to share our 4 year experience and support shaping the future of agroforestry policy and implementation across Europe.
