Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) is crop and livestock production that sustainably increases productivity, resilience (adaptation), reduces/removes greenhouse gases (mitigation), and enhances achievement of national food security and development goals. CSA encourages the use of all available and applicable climate change solutions in a pragmatic and impact-focused manner. The Food Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network (FANRPAN) commissioned this scoping study on CSA with the overall objective of creating a policy environment that increase agricultural productivity and strengthen the resilience of vulnerable smallholder farmers to the impacts of climate change.
