This funding call, part of Horizon Europe Cluster 6, focuses on addressing medium- and longer-term challenges for agriculture due to shifting climatic zones and changing agroecological environments. It aligns with the EU adaptation strategy, the common agricultural policy, and the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030. The call seeks to enhance understanding of the complex relationships between climate change, ecosystems, and agriculture. Projects should provide tools and models to support region-specific adaptation strategies, helping farmers and land managers to address challenges and seize opportunities from these environmental shifts. Proposals are encouraged to include social sciences and humanities contributions, and integrate Earth observation data from Copernicus and Galileo systems.
Opening: 06-05-2025
Deadline(s): 04-09-2025

This funding opportunity represents a pre-agreed draft that has not yet been officially approved by the European Commission. The final, approved version is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2025. This draft is provided for informational purposes and may be used to preliminarily form consortia and develop project ideas, but it is offered without any guarantees or warranties.
Expected Outcome
• Better understanding of the links between climate changes, ecosystems, and agriculture by policymakers and sector actors.
• Enhanced knowledge of agricultural land suitability and widely applied region-specific adaptation strategies.
• Improved capacity of farmers and land managers to adapt to shifting climatic zones and agroecological conditions.
Scope
• Develop and validate dynamic models for climate change impacts on agriculture, incorporating diverse agroecological systems.
• Characterize and analyze cropping system geo-distribution, sustainability indicators, and production uncertainty under future climatic conditions.
• Provide tools for evidence-based agricultural land use strategies that enable adaptation and restoration in agricultural systems.
