Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has been promoted since 2011 to increase productivity, improve resilience to climate variability and change and reduce greenhouse gas emission, where feasible, in farming systems globally and especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. CSA is unique, by comparison, to some o...

Climate change will affect the ability to deliver not only the quantity but also the type and quality of food necessary for nutritious diets. Global and regional 'climate-smart agriculture' initiatives offer an opportunity to mitigate climate impacts and improve nutrition outcomes at scale. The S...

Growth in mobile phone access and ownership presents an opportunity to collect more data, more frequently, from more people, and for less money. There are multiple ways to collect data with mobile phones (SMS, voice calls, etc.), each with particular strengths and weaknesses. n The best mode of d...

Climate-smart agricultural (CSA) interventions often require “fine-tuning” i.e. feedback from multiple stakeholders e.g. farmers, extension agents, NGO workers, and policy implementers on their relevance in a given context. Getting essential feedback to ensure projects are on track in a timely w...

CSA and its principles: food security, mitigation, and adaptation, have been widely recognized as key elements for decision makers to include to meet the Sustainable Development Goals. Yet implementing successful innovations on a wider scale across nations – and even geographies – remains a chall...

A robust, resilient, and enabling policy environment is critical to take agriculture innovations to scale at national or regional level. Policy formulation processes that consider climate variability, socioeconomic and environmental shocks require participatory, inclusive, and explorative scenari...

The process of getting climate-smart agricultural (CSA) interventions and practices to farmers is just as important as the interventions and practices. Given the complex systems in which CSA is implemented and the various CSA practices and technologies, there is no one-size-fits-all scaling path...

Recognizing successful climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices is not enough for them to be adopted at scale. At many sites, government or development-led interventions to promote CSA practices face low adoption rates or are not adopted at all. Data shows that CSA adoption depends on drivers...
