This paper presents the initial data analyses of the CCAFS gender survey implemented in four sites in Africa. Using descriptive statistics we show gender differences in terms of perceptions of climate change, awareness and adoption of climate smart agricultural (CSA) practices, and types and sour...
This chapter assessed the influence of socioeconomic factors, plot characteristics, food security, and climatic variables on the adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) technologies in southern Tanzania. Using data collected from 357 households and 464 agricultural plots, a multivariate probi...

Determinants of Adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture Technologies at Farm Plot Level: An Assessment from Southern Tanzania
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...
