ClieNFarms Policy Brief #3: Supporting farmers and advisors to select tailored practices that contribute to climate neutrality

Summary

This policy brief highlights the slow progress toward climate neutrality in EU agriculture and the need for tailored, evidence-based solutions for farmers. Adoption depends mainly on farmers’ knowledge, advisory support, and financial feasibility, with variation across farming systems. Key barriers include high investment costs and misaligned advisory services. The brief recommends strengthening CAP implementation, funding high-impact solutions, improving advisory systems, and reducing EU dependency on imports.
