Collaborations
HarvRESt collaborates with fellow EU funded projects and similar initiatives with the aim to maximize the project’s impact and dissemination of results.
Below you can check out who we are collaborating with.
AgEnRes
AgEnRes tackles the urgent challenges of fluctuating fossil fuel and fertiliser prices that threaten the resilience and affordability of European agriculture. By exploring pathways to reduce resource dependence, enhance farm incomes, and maintain accessible food prices, AgEnRes supports a more sustainable and self-reliant agricultural sector. Through an integrated approach combining data-driven analysis, policy design, and stakeholder engagement, the project develops frameworks, databases, and foresight models to evaluate energy transition strategies and innovation impacts. Ultimately, AgEnRes will deliver an innovative toolbox to guide policymakers and practitioners toward resilient, low-dependence farming systems in Europe.

ALFA RES
ALFA RES unlocks the potential of biogas production from livestock farming to boost renewable energy uptake and reduce emissions from untreated manure. By supporting at least 50 farmers across six EU countries—Greece, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, and Slovakia—the project promotes the integration of biogas as a reliable, low-carbon energy source that strengthens rural economies and advances Europe’s climate goals. Through a combination of research, stakeholder engagement, and hands-on support, ALFA RES builds regional biogas hubs, designs business and technical services, and raises awareness of biogas benefits. The project ultimately aims to accelerate the transition toward sustainable, self-sufficient energy systems while creating new revenue streams and green jobs in the livestock farming sector.

BIO-INSPIRE
Regional clusters act as powerful catalysts in the bioeconomy, connecting local enterprises, researchers, and stakeholders through their cross-sectoral reach and close links to regional ecosystems. BIO-INSPIRE mobilises this potential through an alliance of 14 transdisciplinary partners from 12 EU countries. The project engages Regional Bio-Economy Clusters in seven widening regions (Greece, Hungary, Slovakia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria, and Poland), supported by research and cluster partners from Sweden and the Netherlands. By addressing common bottlenecks in innovation, tackling systemic challenges, and introducing a robust governance framework, BIO-INSPIRE strengthens regional R&I capacity and enables ecosystems to build lasting collaborations and fully participate in Europe’s bio-based economy.

ClienFarms
ClieNFarms drives the transition toward climate-neutral and climate-resilient European agriculture by 2050. Funded under the European Green Deal, the project co-develops and scales up systemic, locally tailored solutions that integrate technical, organisational, and financial innovations at the farm level. Through its multi-actor Innovative Systemic Solution Space (I3S) approach, ClieNFarms brings together farmers, advisors, agri-businesses, policymakers, finance actors, and citizens to test, demonstrate, and refine practical pathways toward climate neutrality. By fostering collaboration, strengthening advisory systems, and building the capacity of young farmers, the project empowers Europe’s farming communities to achieve economically viable, low-emission, and sustainable business models across diverse agricultural contexts.

Climate Farm Demo
Climate Farm Demo builds a unique pan-European network of 1,500 Pilot Demo Farmers across 28 countries to implement and showcase Climate Smart Farming solutions for a carbon-neutral European agriculture by 2050. The project connects farmers with climate advisors, living labs and an extensive programme of farm events to co-create, test and scale practical adaptation and mitigation measures across all major pedo-climatic regions. Through its solution repository, training resources and multi-actor knowledge exchange, Climate Farm Demo strengthens advisory capacities and empowers farming communities to adopt climate-smart practices at scale.

ECOLOOP
ECOLOOP advances a low-carbon, circular future for rural areas by optimising the combination of distributed renewable energy sources such as biogas, biomass, agri-PV and geothermal. The project reduces carbon footprints by promoting local self-consumption of clean energy and improving agricultural and forest waste management, while delivering co-benefits for air quality, biodiversity, soil health and groundwater protection. By developing innovative agricultural protocols, bio-based products and farmer-focused business models, ECOLOOP empowers rural communities, supports regional development, and demonstrates its integrated solutions at pilot sites across Bulgaria, Spain, Estonia and Slovenia.

GREENHOOD
GREENHOOD develops regionally anchored, participatory nutrient management strategies to cut nutrient losses from agriculture and other sectors by 50% in line with key EU Green Deal policies. Working through four demo regions in Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway and Finland, the project tests nutrient recovery technologies, optimised nutrient budgeting and cross-sector bio-based fertiliser value chains to rebalance nutrient flows across soil, water and air. By co-designing solutions with regional stakeholders and translating lessons into tailored policy recommendations, GREENHOOD aims to become a flagship initiative for integrated, ecosystem-based nutrient management across Europe.

NENUPHAR
NENUPHAR works on real solutions to address nutrient pollution that seriously threaten aquatic ecosystems, soil, drinking water and farming sustainability in Europe - the main sources of which are manure, sewage sludge and dairy wastewater. Through a holistic approach involving all relevant stakeholders, NENUPHAR is developing both advanced technological solutions and governance models to mitigate nutrient pollution, reduce fertilizer costs, and improve nutrient management and recycling at scale.

PYSOLO
PYSOLO pioneers a fully renewable way to decarbonise and defossilise the EU chemical industry by combining concentrated solar power with biomass pyrolysis. By using solar heat instead of burning part of the pyrolysis products, the project maximises the yield of high-value outputs such as bio-oil, biochar and pyrogas while minimising associated CO₂ emissions. Through the development of a solar particle receiver and advanced pyrolysis reactors, PYSOLO demonstrates a flexible system that can run on solar energy, pyrogas or grid electricity, offering both process heat and grid-balancing services. This innovative approach opens new pathways for renewable carbon feedstocks, negative-emission biochar applications and climate-neutral industrial value chains in Europe.
