| description | Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) is a global strategy for enhancing food productivity amidst
climate change uncertainties in the 21st century. CSA improves farmers’ incomes, reduces
greenhouse emissions, and farming systems become resilient to climate change. Despite the vital
role that CSA plays in the development of the agricultural industry and the economy, the extent to
which CSA is related to sustainable agriculture (SA) is not well documented. Is CSA the same as
SA? If they are the same, do CSA practices impose mitigation requirements for developing
countries like Uganda? Studies or research on CSA and SA unfortunately have certain
shortcomings. Lack of this knowledge makes it difficult to plan investments and develop policies
that will increase farmers’ resilience to climate change and variability to improve SA. This study is
aimed at assessing how CSA links to SA and whether the two contribute to climate change
mitigation requirements. It was found that CSA and SA are also related in a way that the latter leads
to lowering greenhouse gas emissions hence mitigating climate change. CSA and SA share a
common principal goal of achieving food security. It was concluded that developing countries are
the worst affected by the negative impacts of climate change and don’t have the adaptive capacity
to respond to climate change effects. |
