This book provides essential insights into methods and practices of
'Climate-smart Agriculture,' which is driven by the principles of
climate resilience and smart resource use in agricultural
production. Climate-smart agriculture is a key policy instrument
for achieving poverty eradication and a hunger-free world, as well
as mitigating the effects of climate change. This book discusses in
detail climate-smart agricultural technologies and practices that
can reduce the vulnerability of agricultural systems, improve the
livelihoods of farmers and other stakeholders, and reduce the
greenhouse gas emissions from crop production and livestock
husbandry. The agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU)
sector produces roughly 10-12 gigatons of CO2-equivalent per year;
therefore, sustainable practices for agriculture and related land
use hold immense potential to mitigate climate change. The
potential impacts of climate variability and climate change on
agriculture are extensively documented and articulated, especially
with regard to global and national environmental agendas that call
for innovation, transformation and climate-resilient advances in
agriculture. As the book demonstrates, climate-smart agriculture
offers an excellent tool for boosting agricultural output to feed
the growing global population; for reducing greenhouse gases
emissions from agriculture and other land use; and for protecting
agricultural production systems from the impending dangers of
climate change.
