Objective
ClimAurea will turn Europe’s complex climate future into clear, field-level guidance that farmers, advisers and regional authorities can act on. As climate zones drift northward and extreme events become more frequent, today’s crop and livestock choices will not match tomorrow’s growing conditions. ClimAurea bridges that gap by translating the latest scientific knowledge on temperature rise, rainfall shifts, drought, heatwaves and flooding into continent-wide maps showing where key crops, grasslands and livestock systems will remain viable or become risky through each decade to 2100. Three “stress-response hubs” then test how compound flooding, prolonged drought and recurring heatwaves affect real farming systems in contrasting European regions. The lessons are generalised so every rural area can see what similar shocks would mean for its own soils and enterprises.
To ensure these strategies take root, ClimAurea also evaluates their socio-economic feasibility and policy fit, co-designing options with farmers and advisors so they are practical, affordable and compatible with CAP frameworks. All of this intelligence is channelled into a visual Digital Twin of European agriculture and into ClimAurea Advisor, a multilingual large-language-model assistant. A farmer simply asks, “Will winter wheat still be worth planting on my land in 2040?” or “How can I prepare my farm for a future heatwave?” The LLM queries the Twin, retrieves the scenario, explains the result in plain language and suggests effective adaptation options, from variety shifts to grazing adjustments. Open access to the maps, code and advisory engine ensures that regional administrations, CAP networks and cooperatives can embed ClimAurea insights in their own services.
By combining robust science with an intuitive interface, the project empowers Europe’s farmers to anticipate risk, capture opportunities and design practical, climate-ready strategies, field by field, decade by decade.
