About the project
The project started in October 2022 and will run until March 2025.”
The project develops future-oriented consultation and training materials on climate mitigation and adaptation. Its innovative approach combining regenerative agriculture and adaptation management methods will offer both practical solutions and strategic guidance on transforming agricultural cultivation methods and ecosystems to make farming more resilient and sustainable. Thereby, the project also contributes to more robust food production, healthier ecosystems (biodiversity) and the fight against the climate crisis.
Aims and objectives
To develop and apply a comprehensive Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Consultation package that will contribute to a better understanding of climate-related vulnerability and make farms more climate-resilient. The related materials will enable farmers and agricultural consultants to implement good adaptation practices.
Furthermore, farmers will learn how to develop climate strategies and monitoring systems tailored to their objectives and needs and strengthen their competencies to proactively respond to some of the numerous challenges the agricultural sector is experiencing.
To train professionals in the agricultural sector (VET educators, trainers, farm advisors) to become Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Agents.
Equipped with the necessary knowledge and tools for understanding and addressing climate change-related challenges (compounding and cascading risks, uncertainty, maladaptation), these professionals will become multipliers and catalysts for agricultural transformation processes.
To strengthen cooperation between farmers, trainers and advisory services and contribute to collaborative (decision-making) processes that result in tailor-made farm-level measures and adaptation strategies as well as suitable monitoring and evaluation approaches.
To inform VET authorities and policymakers about climate change adaptation and mitigation options in farming, encouraging them to introduce incentives for farmers to implement measures that will make them more resilient in the face of climate change.
To conduct an awareness-raising campaign on the national and EU level for policymakers, VET providers, farmers and the general public on the urgent need to transform agriculture and to introduce climate-resilient measures in farming, related benefits and conditions for upscaling.

Healthy soils are essential for
people, food, nature and climate.
Blended Learning
Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)
With the creation of a Virtual Environment for ClimateFarming, the project will enable all interested stakeholders to access the consultation and training materials, be it for self-study and direct on-farm implementation or application in training or consultation contexts.
The VLE will offer open access to an unlimited number of online users.
All learning materials will be taught and tested at workshops organised for farmers, consultants and trainers in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Luxembourg.
The project aims to provide all professionals in the agricultural sector with tools and instruments to better understand, anticipate and proactively respond to climate-related challenges in agriculture and help farms to become more resilient.
The ClimateFarming Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) will be an easily accessible platform containing all relevant project results and materials.
