Climate-Smart Agriculture

Objective:

Explore Climate-Smart Agriculture strategies to enhance resilience, mitigate climate change impacts, and ensure sustainable food production in the face of a changing climate.

Theme :

"Sustainable Harvest: Navigating Climate Challenges through Climate-Smart Agriculture."

This session focuses on Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), an approach that integrates climate adaptation, mitigation, and sustainable development principles into agricultural practices. The objective is to delve into strategies and technologies that can enhance the resilience of agricultural systems, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and ensure food security in the context of climate change. Discussions may cover precision farming, agroforestry, improved water management, and the use of climate-resilient crop varieties.
