Climate-Smart Agriculture: An Integrated Approach for Attaining Agricultural Sustainability

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Climate Change and Resilient Food Systems

Abstract

Impacts of climate change (CC) and climate variability (CV) are felt throughout the world as it’s getting hotter. As a result, irregular distribution of precipitation, a progressive rise in the oceanic levels, and more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events (EWE) have become a common phenomenon in recent years. Extended episodes of drought, floods, and shifts in the agroclimatic areas are threatening agricultural crop production (ACP) throughout the globe. However, their severity is especially felt and perceived more in developing and least developed nations from southern Asia and African regions. Their impacts are expected to become further severe as the average global temperature of Earth is projected to rise by another 1.1 °C to 6.4 °C till the end of the twenty-first century. In addition to being affected by CC and CV, agriculture also exacerbates it via emitting a large amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. The GHG is reported to be intensive in usual production methods, such as conventional cultivation and plant nutrient and irrigation management systems by the farmers. In this context, climate-smart agriculture (CSA) can bring adaptation and mitigation strategies to sustain ACP. For instance, CSA contributes to the development of climate-resilient agricultural systems by increasing soil characteristics and the efficiency of water and nutrient use and by providing more stable yields and reducing emissions of GHGs. Although the advantages of CSA are broadly recognized, there is still a limited and dispersed holistic assessment of adaptation and the mitigation potential of CSA techniques.
