Mesoamerican coffee: building a climate change adaptation strategy
Research shows that climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is beneficial in increasing productivity, promoting resilience and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Achieving benefits in all three dimensions is difficult, and so necessary choices among competing investments and objectives must be made.

Assess whole-farm trade-offs and synergies for climate-smart agriculture
Clearly showing the benefits of certain climate-smart agricultural (CSA) interventions over others in a particular context is key to facilitating prudent investment of scarce resources.
Ranking certain CSA practices over others is complex because CSA implies multiple outcomes, which vary with co...
