Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is an integrative approach to address the challenges of food security and climate change by sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and incomes, adapting and building resilience to climate change and reducing and/or removing greenhouse gases emissions, where possible. Modern technologies and advances in the agriculture sector, such as inorganic fertilizers, pesticides, feeds, supplements, high yielding varieties, and land management and irrigation techniques have been proved as vital in increasing production.
