A Horizon Europe Project
ClimateSmartAdvisors (CSA) is a pan-European network empowering farm advisors with the knowledge and tools needed to support farmers in adapting to climate change across 27 countries.
Advisors Driving Change
The ClimateSmartAdvisors project unites 1500 Advisors, 140 Coaches, 27 National Coordinators, and 12 Thematic Leaders in a shared effort to advance climate-smart agriculture in Europe.
By building a strong network of skilled stakeholders, the project helps improve knowledge exchange, support advisory services, and accelerate the transition to more sustainable farming practices.
260 Communities of Practice across 27 EU countries are helping bring climate-smart farming solutions into practice within the European agricultural advisory community. Discover more about each Community of Practice as soon as the network begins rolling out activities across Europe.
FarmingForClimate.eu
A common knowledge platform rich in climate-smart tools, practices, and approaches from different EU Horizon project is the place to go for every advisor who takes part in shifting EU agricultural production towards more adaptable, sustainable and environmentally friendly farming.
The platform is under continuous development, with new features being gradually added in the coming years.
Practice oriented innovation experiments where Advisors play a central role as change and innovation agents in Climate Smart Farming multi-level transitions. Co-Design Innovation Experiments will fill in innovation gaps that have been identified in Climate Smart Advisors activities across the EU
Head of Department for Consulting in Livestock Production at the Ministry of Agriculture, over 25 years of work in the civil service.
A university specialist in quality and safety of animal products. During her career, she spent most of the time working in the preparation of legal and by-laws, programs and strategies in the field of animal husbandry and livestock production, but also in other branches of the agricultural production.
I’m an advisor in the dairy sector for the Chamber of Agriculture in Britanny. I’m involved in several projects dealing with both aspects of climate change : adaptation and mitigation. For 3 years I do carbon footprint assessment with Cap’2eR and help farmers to implement new solutions. I also analyze carbon data regularly to better understand how farms can reduce their emissions and increase carbon storage.
Master Degree in renewable energy systems and technical energy management. Experienced in project management of photovoltaic plants and large scale solar thermal systems. In the current position in the Department Energy, Climate and Bio-ressources at the Chamber of Agriculture and Forestry in Styria I am responsible for National and International projects but also as an energy consultant for farmers in Styria.
I work as a project manager for multiple international projects in a Finnish advisory organisation. The main topics cover sustainable agriculture from the perspectives of climate, biodiversity and innovations.
I am a special consultant in the team of Climate and Nature as well as the international advisor at ICOEL. I coordinate internally 4 EU projects mostly related to implementation of innovative climate actions in agriculture, and more specifically into the organic farming sector.
Master Degree in animal husbandry. 12 years of experience. Head of training department in Agricultural Adisory Center Branch Office in Radom
I work on research projects for arable crops and forage. I manage projects but I also drive experiments on the field and analyse data coming from the project. One project I work on at the moment is on the adaptation of crops to climate change.
I am working at the French Livestock Institute, as an expert on dairy cow nutrition and feeding systems. I am in charge of regional, national and european projects delaing with milk production, feed-food competition, land use and carbonfootprint. On this last issue, providing efficient strategies to farmers for reducing methane emissions is a critical on-going work for the dairy industry. I am particularly involved in this research.
I am working at the French Livestock Institute. I work on energy on the farm : energy consumption, energy saving and energy production (photovoltaics, biogas), links between energy and GHG emissions. Previously, I have supported many famers in their projects of biogas production (for cogeneration or biomethane injection) with technical support, relation with local autorithies and citizens, regulations, experimentations, energetic cultures…
Director of the Cátedra (Chair) of Agriculture, Cooperative Studies and Sustainable Development UAL-Coexphal, and professor in the Faculty of Economics and Business Management, University of Almería, Spain. Her work focuses on transitions to sustainability in food and agricultural systems and value chains: the intersection of organisational, technical, social, economic and institutional innovation, particularly business models. A related research area involves sustainable digitalisation in agriculture.
Researcher at Wagningen Plant Research, as part of the Agriculture & Society team. Background in transition and innovation studies, with a MSc from Wageningen University & Research. Involved in a number of EU (CFD, CSA, CSR) and national projects. Focus on multi-stakeholder approaches, co-creation, Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS) and learning.
Master of Engineering in Energy. I work at farmers’ organisation Boerenbond, advising farmers on sustainable energy management and supporting those with innovative ideas. In projects, I often serve as an intermediary between research and the farming community addressing their specific needs. I am involved in several European projects (ATTRACTISS, modernAKIS, Climate Farm Demo, ClimateSmartAdvisors) focusing on networking and enhancing skills and competencies of advisors and other AKIS actors.
Researcher at the University of Almería, Spain, with a background in biotechnology and a Master’s in Bioeconomy, bridging biological and business perspectives. Her work focuses on digitalisation, sustainability, and climate-smart farming. She contributes to European multi-actor projects and Living Labs, analysing farming systems, value chains, and digital ecosystems to drive more resilient and sustainable agricultural transitions.
