Looking for Climate-Smart agriculture (CSA) techniques which can be practically implemented in the existing agricultural fields i.e. on ground while farming.
@ Aman, I think key practical techniques are: sustainably intensifying agriculture, adapting to climate change and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
I believe that agroforestry systems, mixed plantings, rescue of traditional agricultural crop varieties that are regionally adapted, soil protection through organic cover, strengthening of cultivation systems traditionally developed by peasants and locally adapted, incorporation of trees into agricultural systems.
Climate-smart agriculture is an integrated approach to managing landscapes cropland, livestock, forests and fisheries that address the interlinked challenges of food security and climate change. Climate-smart agriculture is a pathway towards development and food security built on three pillars: increasing productivity and incomes, enhancing resilience of livelihoods and ecosystems and reducing and removing greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere.
Climate-smart crop production practices and technologies
Use of quality seeds and planting materials of well-adapted crops and varieties. ...
Practical strategies that farmers can use to do Climate Smart Agriculture includes Conservation agriculture, Agroforestry, Irrigation management, Crop diversification, Climate information and advisory services, and Integrated pest management. The choice of technique will depend on local conditions and resources, and it is essential to work with local communities and stakeholders to identify the most appropriate practices for their specific contexts.
