Sustainable Solutions for a Warming Planet Climate Smart Agriculture as a Tool for Global Food Security

Abstract

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) represents a crucial approach to addressing the challenges of global food security amidst a warming planet. By integrating sustainable practices and leveraging technological advancements, CSA aims to enhance agricultural productivity while mitigating the impacts of climate change. Key strategies include promoting resilient crop varieties, optimizing water and nutrient use efficiency, and adopting precision farming techniques. These efforts bolster food production and contribute to ecosystem conservation and carbon sequestration. Moreover, CSA fosters adaptive capacity among farmers, enabling them to withstand climatic shocks and variability. As a multifaceted solution, CSA aligns environmental sustainability with food security goals, offering a pathway towards resilient and sustainable agricultural systems in the face of ongoing climate challenges.
