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
