The Centre for Coordination of Agricultural Research and Development for Southern Africa (CCARDESA) is a subsidiary implementing institution of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Secretariat. This MTOP for CCARDESA’s is based on the CCARDESA long-term Strategic Plan (2018 - 2028) and the Agricultural Innovation Systems (AIS) paradigm for Agricultural Research for Development (AR4D) to align R&D organizations to sub-sector, sector and ultimately, national and regional development objectives.

CSA goes beyond innovative technologies and practices like drought-resistant varieties or soil and water conservation measures. To achieve the multiple objectives of productivity, food security, enhanced farmer resilience and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, CSA must adopt a systems perspective. A systems approach aims to view a problem as part of an entire system, rather than considering problems in isolation.

L'agriculture intelligente face au climat (AIC) est une approche visant à réorienter les systèmes agricoles pour soutenir durablement et efficacement la sécurité alimentaire1. L'AIC comprend des actions à différents niveaux, depuis les parcelles agricoles, les systèmes agricoles et les paysages jusqu'aux contextes nationaux et mondiaux. 

Les technologies de l'information et des communications (TIC) peuvent jouer un rôle clé dans l'échange de connaissances, le ciblage des recommandations, l'intégration des marchés et l'accès au financement
