Climate-Smart Agriculture Case studies

Description

This report provides a context-specific look at Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) across many different regions, it also showcases different elements of climate-smart agricultural systems. The case studies show how the management of farms, crops, livestock and aquaculture can balance short- and long-term food security needs with priorities for the farmer/producer, as well as build adaption to climate change and contribute to mitigating GHGs. Many of the impacts outlined in the studies highlight the services provided to farmers, fishers and land managers to enable a better management of climate risks/impacts while providing mitigation options.

The case studies were selected and adapted from the Climate-Smart Agriculture Sourcebook Second Edition 2017, and other FAO projects. The aim is to further support policy makers, academics, practitioners (i.e. extension services, non-governmental organizations [NGOs] and farmers) and programme managers who are interested in successful examples of on-the-ground implementation of CSA approaches, and capturing the synergies between adaptation, mitigation and food security in their work.
