Abstract
Climate change (CC) is among the major challenges globally affecting all areas of
life. It has destabilized agricultural production with negative production trends
projected to increase in regions with limited capacity to adapt to CC. In addressing
this challenge in agricultural production, it is important to shift to more sustainable
practices such as the Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) which has a three-pronged goal
of increasing productivity, enhancing climate change adaptation and resilience and
reducing greenhouse gas emission.
