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.

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
I have worked as a Soils and Nutrient Scientist for ADAS since 2022 on projects including the Defra funded “impacts of slurry acidification on soil and crop health”, which was also the basis of my PhD, SUPER-G – a Horizon 2020 project assessing the ecosystem delivery of sustainable permanent grasslands, and an assessment of the impact of mob grazing on soil health funded by Natural England.
I am also involved in the CFD project.

Project manager in the field of grassland science and climate adapted farming, with a focus on connecting stakeholders in areas such as grazing systems, grassland biodiversity, and the valorization of grassland ecosystem services. I am interested in strengthening the link between practical farming and scientific research. I currently co-ordinate the EU-Horizon project “Grazing4AgroEcology”.
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.
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.
Master Degree in enviromental system sciences. Experienced project manager in international projects for bio-ressources. 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 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.
Agronomist, viticulture freelance advisor.
