The goal of the program is to support research and innovation projects that make a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture. Funding is provided for projects in the following five key areas:
- GHG emission reduction, energy saving and production through alternative propulsion technologies without fossil fuels as well as renewable energies (including the optimization of agri-photovoltaics).
- GHG emission reduction, energy saving through research on and development of practical applications including the corresponding software for the optimization of single-farm climate assessments
- Socio-economic studies on measures to achieve climate protection goals, GHG emission reduction, energy saving, and other aspects of climate protection
- GHG emission reduction, energy saving through technical approaches in crop production and processing
- GHG emission reduction including mitigation or avoidance of methane emissions from manure storage, energy savings through climate-optimized production systems in livestock production
