Summary
At Sadala Agro OÜ farm in Estonia, farmers, scientists, and advisors came together for a demo day on climate-smart farming practices. As part of the Climate Farm project, the event showcased practical solutions to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Highlights included:
• Grass strips on Ahti Kalde’s fields, boosting biodiversity, reducing soil erosion, and attracting pollinators. The project is called 'Nature rich Estonia' (LIFE-IP ForEst&FarmLand)
• Cover crops and green manure, improving soil fertility, holding nutrients, suppressing weeds, and supporting healthier soils.
• Modern machinery demonstrations with precision no-till seeders, showing how technology supports climate-smart farming.
