ABSTRACT:
The Climate Farm Demo project is a Horizon Europe initiative that aims to accelerate the adoption of Climate Smart Farming (CSF) practices across Europe, contributing to more sustainable, resilient, and climate-neutral agricultural systems. The project is built around a large-scale, multi-actor network of around 1,500 pilot demonstration farms and their Climate Farm Advisors, covering a wide range of agricultural systems and climatic conditions across more than 25 countries.
Through this network, the project promotes knowledge exchange and peer-to-peer learning by organising demonstration activities directly on farms, allowing farmers and stakeholders to observe, test, and discuss climate-smart solutions under real conditions. These activities are supported by methodologies and tools that enable the monitoring of environmental performance, including greenhouse gas emissions, adaptation measures, and overall sustainability.
Key results of the project include the development and implementation of adaptation and mitigation plans at farm level, the validation of tools to assess climate performance, and the demonstration of technical and social innovations through large-scale demo campaigns. In addition, the project fosters the co-creation of new solutions within Living Labs and identifies incentive mechanisms to support the uptake of climate-smart practices.
Overall, Climate Farm Demo provides practical evidence, tools, and methodologies that support farmers, advisors, and policymakers in implementing climate-smart practices, contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation and supporting the transition towards a carbon-neutral agricultural sector by 2050.
