Climate Smart Agriculture in the African Context
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...
