Climate Smart and Climate Resilient Agriculture

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is an approach to farming that aims to achieve three goals at once: sustainably increasing productivity and farm incomes, helping crops, livestock and farmers adapt to climate change, and reducing greenhouse-gas emissions wherever possible. Climate-resilient agriculture focuses on the ability of a farming system to absorb shocks such as droughts, floods, heatwaves and new pest outbreaks, and to recover quickly. Common practices include stress-tolerant varieties, conservation tillage, crop diversification, efficient irrigation, agroforestry, weather-based advisories and crop insurance. Because climate change affects every region differently, CSA is not a single technology but a combination of practices chosen to suit local conditions.
