What is climate-smart agriculture ?

climate-smart

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is a method of restructuring and reorienting agricultural production systems and food value chains to promote long-term development and food security in the face of climate change. The climate-smart agriculture method aims to decrease trade-offs and create synergies in order to increase the productivity and sustainability of crop and livestock systems, forests, fisheries, and aquaculture. Climate-smart agriculture is neither a new system nor a collection of methods. It’s a new way of looking at growth paths that can make agriculture more productive and sustainable, as well as better suited to contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
