Over the next five years, the project will develop, test, and promote cutting-edge solutions for Climate Smart Farming (CSF), to accelerate the transition toward climate-neutral agriculture in Europe.
Coordinated by Wageningen Research (The Netherlands), CSR connects a network of 29 Experimental Research Stations (ERS), involving universities, applied research institutions, advisory services, NGOs, and SMEs. Funded under the Horizon Europe programme, CSR is designed to drive systemic change through practical, science-based innovation in the agriculture sector.
“As agriculture faces growing pressure to adapt climate change while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it is essential to develop effective solutions. This project is a great opportunity to cooperate with many experts from the agricultural sector across Europe, to research interactions between adaption and mitigation measures including their synergies and trade-offs,” says Marko Kass, Director of Research at METK.
The project officially kicked off with a three-day launch meeting, held from 10–12 September 2025 in Lelystad, the Netherlands, where partners gathered to align on goals, ambitions, and plans, and to kick-start joint activities.
The project also collaborates closely with sister initiatives such as Climate Farm Demo and ClimateSmartAdvisors, ensuring broad outreach and uptake of validated solutions.
