Climate-Smart Agriculture Sourcebook

The second version of the Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) Sourcebook, published by FAO in 2017, comprises a new fully revised digital platform edition of the CSA Sourcebook that reflects new scientific insights as well as valuable CSA implementation experience obtained since the publication of the first edition. Five new modules were added:  Climate change adaptation and mitigation, Integrated production systems, Supporting rural producers with knowledge of Climate-Smart Agriculture, The role of Gender in Climate-Smart Agriculture, and The theory of change for the CSA approach: a guide to evidence-based implementation at the country level.

Furthermore, the 18 existing modules were completely revised, restructured and updated in the three main sections of the Sourcebook: Concept, Production and Resources, and Enabling Frameworks. Similar to the process of creating the 2013 first edition, this update involved inputs from across FAO’s technical units, as well as numerous external partners and experts.

On the digital platform, the Sourcebook is a “living” document in which any section or module can be updated to reflect the evolving scientific insights and practical experience in CSA, allowing the user to suggest resources to be include in the portal.
