Research suggests that farmer-to-farmer learning can be up to six times more effective in spreading knowledge of CSA practices than in areas where it is not carried out. Understanding the wider context and requirements for social learning is key. Peer learning is an effective way to disseminate C...

Research suggests that gender equity is a critical factor in the adoption of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices. If gender is not explicitly considered in climate-related interventions, the adoption of climate-resilient practices is unlikely to reach scale. Climate-resilient interventio...

Large-scale investment is needed to create climate-smart agriculture (CSA) systems. While many government and development agencies are integrating CSA into their policies, programmes, plans and projects, there is little guidance for operational planning and implementation on ways to be climate-s...

The African Union-New Partnership for African Development (AU-NEPAD) has set a goal of 25 million farming families practicing Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) by 2025 (Vision 25x25). This Vision 25x25 came out of the African Union Leaders “Malabo Declaration” of 2014 that set a path forward for Af...

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is being widely promoted as a solution for food insecurity and climate change adaptation in food systems of sub-Saharan Africa, while simultaneously reducing the rate of greenhouse gas emissions. Governments throughout Africa are writing policies and programs to...

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...

Evidence exists to support CSA programming on the most widely cultivated crops (e.g. maize), and most common agricultural practices (e.g. fertilizer addition) in Tanzania. However, products and places central to rural livelihoods such as livestock, coastal drylands, and humid regions near Lake Vi...

This paper offers an overview of how climate change is already affecting farmers across eastern and southern Africa, and how it will continue to affect them in the future. The rising temperatures and increased rainfall variability associated with climate change are undermining the livelihoods and...

What is and what is not climate-smart agriculture (CSA)? That existential question sparks debate, complicates implementation and fractures the development community.
