CEDRIC: Creating a sustainable transboundary agroecosystem through the biodiversity of the root microbiome

Supported EU project

Project duration from 2024-2026 with a budget of over 1.1 million euros
Sustainable project goal

To strengthen microbial biodiversity and thus the fertility of low yielding soils
Committed project partners

Establishment of a cross-border alliance for scientific cooperation

CEDRIC aims to strengthen microbial biodiversity and thus the fertility of low yielding soils.

Inspired by the success of human microbiome transplantation, CEDRIC aims to transplant healthy plant root microbiomes into poor and depleted soils to improve soil structure, microbial diversity, nutrient density and total carbon content.

CEDRIC is based on three pillars:

collaboration

The establishment of a cross-border alliance for scientific cooperation for the development and validation of root microbiome transplantation methods.
Platform

The creation of a cross-border platform for stakeholders in the agricultural sector that promotes the exchange of scientific results and the use of sustainable methods in agricultural production.
Trainings

The development of a training program that enables agricultural professionals to understand the role of a healthy microbiome in soil ecosystems in order to reap the associated benefits for the agricultural economy.
