Climate Smart Research

PioneERS

Advancing resilient, climate-smart agriculture through CSF system testing

10 Pioneering Experimental Research Stations (PioneERS) have been selected from a wide network of research farms across Europe and New Zealand.

These stations were chosen for their systemic research approach and their ability to represent plant, animal, and mixed farming production systems in real-world conditions.

Across the 10 PioneERS, agricultural components are designed to interact and operate synergistically at the whole-farm level. This holistic perspective views each farm as an interconnected system in which changes in one area influence the entire operation.

This integrated approach supports both mitigation and adaptation efforts, enabling PioneERS to optimize farm management, strengthen resilience, improve food security, and contribute meaningfully to climate change mitigation.
