Integrated Soil Fertility Management: Contributions of framework and practices to climate-smart agriculture
Planning robust climate-smart development programs can be done today with existing information. We propose a risk-household-option modeling approach to address household food security under climate change in Africa. hrough a case study in Niger, we demonstrate that prioritizing CSA is possible by...

This document is a climate –smart coffee profile for Central America. It summarizes the results of a climate analysis made for the region. This brief is divided in 4 sections to guide adaptation at scale: Towards resilient production at scale, Recommendation domains to scale climate smart coffee,...
The climate-smart agriculture (CSA) concept reflects
an ambition to improve the integration of agriculture
development and climate responsiveness. It aims to
achieve food security and broader development goals
under a changing climate and increasing food demand.
