Monitoring The Implementation, Performance And Outcomes Of Climate Smart Agriculture In The Climate Change Agriculture And Food Security Climate-Smart Villages

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) puts the challenges of agricultural development at the heart of transformational change in agriculture by concurrently pursuing increased productivity and resilience for food security. Land tenure insecurity for millions of smallholder farmers, including women, declining soil fertility, degraded ecosystems, poor market access, inadequate funding and inadequate infrastructure development continue to hinder agricultural development in Africa. These challenges are expected to be further exacerbated by climate change which has emerged as one of the major threats to agricultural and economic development in Africa.
