Without transformative adaptation strategies, the impact of climate change is projected to reduce global crop yields and increase food insecurity, while rising greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions further exacerbate crisis. While agriculture a major contributor through unsustainable practices, it also offers significant opportunities mitigate these adoption sustainable practices. This review examines climate-smart (CSA) as key strategy for enhancing productivity, building resilience, reducing GHG emissions, emphasizing need strategic interventions accelerate its large-scale implementation improved security. The analysis revealed that nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) has in developed countries, NUE remains at 55.47%, precision nutrient management integrated soil fertility strategies enhance productivity minimize environmental impacts. With 40% world’s agricultural land already degraded, sustainability alone insufficient, necessitating shift toward regenerative practices restore degraded water by improving health, biodiversity, increasing carbon sequestration, thus ensuring long-term resilience. CSA including agriculture, biochar application, agroforestry, improve security, emissions. However, result variability highlights site-specific optimize benefits. Integrating multiple enhances health more effectively than implementing single practice alone. Widespread faces socio-economic technological barriers, requiring supportive policies, financial incentives, capacity-building initiatives. By adopting technologies, can transition sustainability, securing systems addressing challenges.

Abstract Background An estimated 140 million people in Africa face acute malnutrition. By impacting agricultural production, climate change is likely to further decrease food consumption, particularly sub-Saharan African states. Against this backdrop, various actors have called for more attention alternative farming and systems based on traditional knowledge capable of ensuring access sufficient, nutritious, safe food. So far, however, we limited systematic evidence which practices may promote the resilience households exposed extreme climatic conditions. Focusing most prevalent diversification Tanzania, study assesses extent crop diversification, annual intercropping, crop-tree crop-livestock integration, cultivation crops increase availability dietary diversity smallholders facing weather events Tanzania. Methods We combine temperature rain data with information consumption provided by Living Standards Measurement Study–Integrated Surveys Agriculture than 25,000 Tanzanian nationwide. rely a matched differences-in-differences approach account selection bias allow causal inference.

Agroforestry is a powerful practice for sustainable and regenerative intensification because it promotes multifunctional landscapes that deliver ecological functions contribute to livelihoods, land productivity, biodiversity conservation, other ecosystem services. Despite large body of literature on agroforestry in East Africa, systematic understanding its livelihood benefits contribution carbon sequestration still lacking. A review was used provide quantitative qualitative synthesis available evidence knowledge gap from 185 publications met the selection criteria regarding livelihoods (n=152) (n=43) Africa.

Agriculture is currently one of the leading economic sectors most impacted by climate change. Due to its great field application and susceptibility meteorological variability, effects change on agriculture have significant social consequences for human well-being. Moreover, increasing need land spaces population growth has produced strong competition between food urbanization, a loss agroecosystem that supports security. This review aims understand main risks generated in agricultural production potential strategies can be applied increase agriculture’s resilience. Agricultural risk linked decrease productivity foods, weed overgrowth at crops expense, parasites, water availability, soil alteration, negative impact costs consequent adopted cultivars, reduction pollination process, intense fires, alteration product quality.

Annual global coffee consumption growth (1–2%) has been largely met (>50%) mainly by Brazil and Vietnam through high-input monocrop system adoption. Smallholders account for >80% of producers >60% supply despite limited farm sizes (<2 ha), yields, input usage. Production concentration in areas with high-yielding systems fulfilled demand while keeping prices low. However, climate shocks demonstrate the vulnerability all models, strengthening voice those advocating more resilient diversified systems. We review current agroforestry knowledge to identify key trade-offs synergies between sustainability/performance indicators (i.e. economic, environmental, social) explore pathways a sustainable future three examples representative production diversity.
