Role within Nemesis
Within Nemesis, IRIS contributes hands-on experience in organic farming and sustainable soil management within the Italian Living Lab. As a cooperative directly engaged in agricultural production, IRIS supports the testing and demonstration of co-solutions under real farming conditions. It provides practical feedback on feasibility, costs, and agronomic performance, helping bridge research and day-to-day agricultural practice. Through its farmer network and cooperative structure, IRIS strengthens peer learning, stakeholder engagement, and the uptake of soil-friendly practices, enhancing the practical relevance and long-term impact of Nemesis outcomes.
