Dimensions of Climate Smart Agriculture
摘要
Agricultural systems must be altered and refocused in order to secure food security in light of the new climate change realities. This is what climate-smart agriculture (CSA) aims to do. CSA is a relatively recent concept used to define a variety of adaptation and mitigation techniques that create the technical, political and financial framework for the accomplishment of sustainable development objectives. There are seven key dimensions of CSA, which make up the three pillars of CSA. The CSA strategy includes a number of climate-smart techniques that, at the farm level, have an impact on food production, farmer incomes, resilience/adaptive capacity and climate change mitigation in farming systems of developing nations. This chapter discusses the various dimensions of climate-smart agriculture, their positive effects on agriculture sector and environment and their role in improving food security under climate change scenarios.
