An EU-wide network of 1460 pilot demonstrations farms have been set up to accelerate the adoption of Climate Smart Farming (CSF) practices. The network covers 26 EU countries and 4 pedo-climatic areas in Nordic, oceanic, continental and mediterranean clusters. A diversity of agricultural sectors is represented, ranging from animal husbandry and mixed farming systems to specialised arable and horticulture crops, including organic farms. The aim of the Climate Farm Demo network is to: 
⦁ increase implementation of climate adaptation and mitigation measures on European farm
⦁ organise 4,500 on-farm demo events reaching 150,000 farmers 
⦁ engage 250,000 actors in peer-to-peer learning activities
The farmers will be supported in their endeavours by a Climate Farm Advisors. At the start of the project each Pilot Demo Farm was audited for its climate impact. Based on the audit results, the Climate Farm Advisors and farmers developed a climate adaptation and mitigation plan, which set the course for implementing climate smart farming practices during the project lifetime. Each year, the farm’s progress will be evaluated, and the plans will be updated. In a period of 6 years, each farm will organise 3 demonstration events to showcase their experiences with the implementation of climate smart farming practices with a broader audience of farmers and other stakeholders.

The farms in the network can be consulted on a map on the project’s webpage. Farms can be filtered on country, farm type, production system and the thematic areas they are taking measure in. The map is an interesting tool be used by any organisation or person interested in visiting farms engaged in the implementation of climate smart farming practices in their own country or abroad. In this way, the network aims to connect to wider audience outside the consortium.
