The call of the European GOV4ALL project, aimed at improving soil fertility and soil health through sustainable and innovative agricultural practices, is entering its final phase. The application deadline is Friday, 13 February 2026.
This initiative, addressed to 15 farms in Menorca, both conventional and organic, will allow the selected farms to take part for two years in an innovation process that will include co-creation workshops on agricultural practices, specialised technical advice, scientific monitoring of soil health carried out by the University of Valencia, and dissemination of the results obtained. Eight livestock farms, four horticultural farms and three farms with woody crops will be selected. As compensation for the efforts devoted to the project, each participating farm will receive €5,000 per year (up to a total of €10,000 over the two years).
The practices to be tested include, among others, targeted grazing, direct seeding, cover crops, composting, mulching with wool, biofertilisers and water management techniques, always adapted to the reality of each farm. To apply to the selection process, applicants must be professional farmers or livestock breeders, commit to allocating a minimum of 2,000 m² to the implementation of the practices, and actively participate throughout the two-year duration of the project. Full details of the call and the complete terms and conditions are available.
This project is part of the EU Soil Mission and is funded by the Horizon Europe programme through the GOV4ALL project. In Menorca, it is promoted by Custòdia Agrària GOB Menorca’s land stewardship programme, Cooperativa San Crispín, Rayën Soluciones Agronómicas and the University of Valencia.
If you are a farmer in Menorca and want to implement agricultural innovation measures on your farm, do not miss this opportunity: complete the application form and submit your candidacy before 13 February 2026 (inclusive). For further information, you can contact the Custòdia team at custodia@gobmenorca.com or by phone at +34 971 350 762.
