Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is an integrative approach to address these interlinked challenges of food security and climate change, that explicitly aims for three objectives: #sustainably increasing agricultural productivity, to support equitable increases in farm incomes, food security and development; #adapting and building resilience of agricultural and food security systems to climate change at multiple levels; #reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture (including crops, livestock and sheries).


CSA invites to consider these three objectives together at different scales - from farm to landscape – at different levels - from local to global - and over short and long time horizons, taking into account national and local specifcities and priorities[1]


In this video Leslie Lipper, Senior Environmental Economist with FAO, elaborates on the need for a climate smart approach to production, what that means and examples of how this approach has worked.
