CSA can help achieve several SDGs simultaneously, including SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and others. By promoting sustainable and climate-resilient agricultural practices, we can help build a more equitable, sustainable, and resilient world for all. CSA can help small-scale farmers increase their productivity, diversify their income sources, and improve their resilience to climate shocks. By providing farmers with access to better technologies, information, and financial services, climate-smart agriculture can help lift them out of poverty and reduce inequality. It increases food production and improves food quality and nutrition. By promoting sustainable land management practices, improving soil health, and reducing post-harvest losses, climate-smart agriculture can help ensure that people have access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. Climate-smart agriculture can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and promote carbon sequestration in soil and vegetation

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) can play a significant role in supporting the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly related to poverty reduction, food security, and climate action.

Poverty Reduction: Agriculture is a crucial source of income and livelihoods for many rural communities, especially in developing countries. CSA practices can help smallholder farmers increase their productivity, income, and resilience to climate change, thereby reducing poverty. By promoting sustainable land use, improving soil health, and diversifying crop production, CSA can enhance the economic well-being of farmers and their communities.

Food Security: CSA practices can contribute to food security by increasing agricultural productivity, enhancing the resilience of agricultural systems, and improving access to food. By adopting sustainable land use practices, such as conservation agriculture and agroforestry, farmers can enhance the productivity and efficiency of their land use. CSA can also promote the adoption of climate-resilient crop varieties and crop management practices that are better suited to changing weather patterns.

Climate Action: Agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, but it also has the potential to mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon in soils and biomass. CSA practices can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase carbon sequestration, and improve the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change. By promoting the adoption of agroforestry, sustainable land use practices, and the use of renewable energy sources, CSA can contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation.

In conclusion, CSA can support the achievement of the UN SDGs by contributing to poverty reduction, food security, and climate action. By promoting sustainable agriculture practices, enhancing agricultural productivity, and improving the resilience of agricultural systems, CSA can help build more sustainable and resilient food systems that benefit both people and the planet.

Warming climatic system is expected to impact the availability of basic necessities like freshwater, food security, and energy, while efforts to redress climate change, both through adaptation and mitigation, will similarly inform and shape the global development agenda. In fact, progress made towards limiting global temperature increase would significantly ease the path to many other SDGs, such as those related to poverty, hunger, access to water, and terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Food production has its own SDG which calls to “end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.” However, achieving other SDGs cannot be accomplished without a productive and sustainable agricultural sector. A strong climate agreement backed by action on the ground will help us achieve the Sustainable Development Goals to end poverty, build stronger economies and safer, healthier, and more livable societies everywhere. Aiming at reducing environmental risks and increasing the resilience of societies and the environment as a whole, UN Environment action fosters the environmental dimension of sustainable development and leads to socio-economic development. Sustainable agriculture is at the heart of the 2030 Agenda and first fundamental step to securing zero hunger. Changing our main energy sources to clean and renewable energy is the best way to stop using fossil fuels. These include technologies like solar, wind, wave, tidal and geothermal power. SDG 1 aims to eradicate poverty in all of its forms worldwide. Its goals include ensuring that everyone, especially the poorest and most vulnerable, has equal access to economic resources, basic services, property and land control, natural resources, and new technologies.

a short quick answer using a very hopeful video from a source that I trust, the Soil food Web school https://www.soilfoodweb.com/

We could, theoretically, grow enough food for everyone and reverse climate change at the same time (but we have to also stop burning fossil fuels and adopt a plant-rich diet)

Anoither UN program - designed by folks with no relevant exposure to the group from which the expect compliance - NGO bureaucrat dilletantes.

No poverty, zero hunger, stop global warming - and other cartoonish objectives. By citing ultimate unrealistic objectives, UN is relieved of actual metrics of progress and always claiming it just needs more money and compliance.
