Agricultural systems in Eastern Africa are mainly rainfed and highly vulnerable to climate change and variability. Climate-related risks include variable rainfall patterns, prolonged dry spells, and extreme events such as droughts and floods, and have become more frequent and severe, negatively a...

Soil organic carbon sequestration for climate change mitigation in East African Climate-Smart Villages: Results from climate-smart agriculture interventions within Climate-Smart Villages in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda
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...

Wetlands and peatlands are key
ecosystems containing approximately
20% of global soil organic carbon stocks.
Peat swamp forests have sequestered
carbon for millennia, storing a globally
significant reservoir below ground.

Decision support for agricultural soil carbon sequestration: Multi-lateral development banks’ needs and challenges
Research shows that climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is beneficial in increasing productivity, promoting resilience and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Achieving benefits in all three dimensions is difficult, and so necessary choices among competing investments and objectives must be made.
