Field notes
The page frames the program as a nonprofit initiative of VIRIDIS Eco-System gGmbH in Munich. Its proposed fields include turning plant biomass into compostable materials and testing whether environmental technologies deliver what they claim. The published 2027–2029 table sets targets for funding, applications, and educational formats; it also leaves some impact measures without a numerical goal.
