Abstract: CSA helps to ensure that climate change adaptation and mitigation are directly incorporated into agricultural development planning and investment strategies. CSA has the potential to increase productivity and resilience while reducing the vulnerability of millions of smallholder farmers. CSA can benefit smallholder farmers directly by increasing efficiency of precious inputs such as labour, seeds and fertilizers, water, pesticides, increasing food security, and opportunities for income generation. By protecting ecosystems, landscapes and environmental security, CSA helps protect natural resources for future generations, reduce GHG emissions. Several strategies like crop insurance, crop and weather information, agro-advisories, conservation agriculture, agro-forestry, integrated farming systems e-marketing etc. may used as tool of climate risk management / agriculture risk management in climate smart agriculture.
