Abstract
Bringing the Concept of Climate-Smart
Agriculture to Life: Insights from CSA Country Profiles
across Africa, Asia, and Latin America The Climate-Smart
Agriculture (CSA) Country Profile Series assesses climate
change challenges and solutions in the agricultural sectors
of more than 30 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin
America and the Caribbean (LAC). This report introduces the
first analysis of a new dataset drawn from these profiles,
aggregating bottom-up results from individual expert
assessments of CSA technologies. It offers the most complete
overview to date of technologies considered climate-smart
around the world. The emerging insights shed light on
technologies in different locations and farming systems,
their strengths and weaknesses across different dimensions
of climate-smartness, and their specific barriers to
adoption. As a result, a more concrete and specific picture
of CSA emerges that could help demystify the concept, reveal
synergies between the three CSA pillars (productivity,
adaptation, and mitigation), and allow for more targeted
technology deployment and scale-up.
