Climate smart agriculture aims to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate conditions change by sequestering soil carbon and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and finally increase productivity and profitability of farming systems to ensure farmers livelihoods in a changing climate. Conservation agriculture can be considered climate smart as they deliver on the objectives of climate smart agriculture.
