Abstract


A concept called climate-smart agriculture (CSA) seeks to solve the problems caused by climate change while preserving sustainable farming practices. In order to improve food security, promote rural livelihoods, and reduce environmental consequences, it entails integrating climate change adaptation, mitigation, and resilience techniques into agricultural systems.


Keywords
