Situated between Mozambique and Madagascar, the Union of the Comoros is one of the world’s
poorest countries. Heavy dependence on agriculture, complicated by high population density
and a lack of governance has led to mismanagement of natural resources and land degradation.
Additionally, the coun...

Most of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), including Kenya, depend heavily on agriculture for income and food security. Any effort aiming to sustain and improve the productivity in agriculture is, therefore, an important step towards improving the livelihoods of many households. Soils are...

Cost and benefit analysis for climate-smart soil practices in Western Kenya.
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...

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...

Nine ways to make agriculture more climate-smart
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...
Better soil health can increase agricultural productivity. Restoration activities can build on-farm resilience and contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Land and soil health surveys can improve crop modeling predictions under various climate scenarios and guide more targeted in...

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.
