Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) is an integrated approach that aims to address the challenges of food security and climate change. As the agricultural sector is both a contributor to and highly vulnerable to climate change, CSA focuses on transforming agricultural systems to be more resilient, sustainable, and productive in the face of climate variability. The key pillars of CSA include:
Resilience and Adaptation: It promotes practices that help farming systems become more resilient to climate change impacts. This includes the adoption of drought-resistant crops, improved water management practices, and better soil management techniques to reduce vulnerability to climate extremes.
Increased Productivity: CSA aims to sustainably increase agricultural productivity and incomes. This is essential for meeting the food demands of a growing population, particularly in regions where food insecurity is prevalent.
