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
Researcher in the Climate & Nature group. Experience within climate calculation, specifically on crop production, calculation of climate effects of carbon sequestration and interpretation of measured field emissions of nitrous oxide.
I am a food technologist with over twenty years of experience in the livestock sector. I work in the Technical Area of AIA, where I am involved in project management, data analysis, and the preparation of technical and financial reporting. My work supports the development and sustainability of animal production systems.
I am a Soils and Natural Resources Assistant at Innovation for Agriculture. My background is in social sciences and food systems and I now facilitate knowledge exchange between farmers and other actors in the agricultural industry, particularly in relation to soil health.
I work at COEXPHAL, an advisory center with over 20 years of experience in the fruit and vegetable sector, fostering a local risk-sensitive culture to climate change, with a special focus on soil management and the control of pests and plant diseases.
I am a passionate research scientist with 8+ years of experience in Plant Pathology and Crop Protection, and I have a strong commitment to promoting sustainable agriculture.
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.
With a bachelor’s degree in agronomy and a master’s in horticulture, I built my career around practical agriculture and research. At the Chamber of Agriculture and Forestry of Slovenia, I am contributing to advisory and development work connecting policy with real farm needs. My background also includes sales, international experience, project collaboration, and strong communication skills, giving me a broad understanding of modern agriculture and rural development.
More than 25 years of experience in sustainability assessment in agriculture with a focus on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon credits in livestock systems. Definition, application and implementation of new assessment systems and parameters for livestock farms. Many years of experience in EU projects (Interreg Grand-Region, Interreg NWE, Life+, Horizon Europe). Scientific publications and participation in agricultural congresses as well as organisation of seminars for consultants and farmers.
I am a project expert at ZLTO, a advocacy organization for farmers and horticulturists in the southern region of the Netherlands. I hold a BBA from HAS University of Applied Sciences in International Food & Agri Business. Presently, I am engaged in various national and international projects that center around sustainable agriculture, with a specialisation on carbon farming and carbon footprinting.
Herd management covers a broad spectrum of topics. Understanding which of these areas influence climate-smart farming practices is essential. What questions are still unresolved? And what valuable information exists but is rarely applied in day-to-day agricultural operations? For example, managing a herd of dairy cows presents many intriguing challenges. As an advisor, I am eager to contribute my expertise and perspectives. In this project, consolidating the knowledge that advisors can share is crucial. I am delighted to play a role in advancing herd management within this framework.
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 obtained my first university diploma in animal nutritioning (more specifically, sport horses). I always considered my primary task to be helping farmers with knowledge transfer, within which agricultural advisory work, and the umbrella of my university provided an excellent opportunity. Among our biggest partners are beef cattle breeders, and the association of Hungarian buffalos, where forage production is highly relevant. In FAO projects I helped build AKIS systems and ICT platforms in several countries.
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.
