Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has become popular as a practical solution for food insecurity in the face of climate change. This paper aims to review challenges and prospects adopting climate-smart agricultural practices technologies their implications security sub-Saharan Africa. The study used an integrative literature based on inclusion exclusion criteria. result indicated that lack appropriate policies political commitment, knowledge CSA by smallholder farmers, institutional constraints, financial constraints were identified main adoption practices, while availability resources form projects, programs, technologies, other applications opportunities policymakers, advisors, farmers. Therefore, there is need linkage researchers, extension practitioners, considering sets interventions relevant scale, selected tailored local specific contexts livelihood needs.

Climate change is one of the main challenges facing agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa, a region where many rely on rain-fed farming for their livelihoods. Climate-smart agricultural practices (CSAPs) have been identified as promising solution to combat this problem. This paper reviews literature CSAPs Africa (SSA). Specifically, review describes existing adoption region, provides more up-to-date summary expanding and important issue presents an overview current evidence reliable means farmers SSA address climate issues. The suggests that rate comparatively low. However, varies greatly across region. studies constitute also provide benefits adopting environment, ranging from increased productivity, resilience, income farmers, decreased greenhouse gas emissions improved soil health. decision adopt particular influenced by several factors, including personal social-psychological environmental, physical, ecological farm economic well institutional, policy, structural factors. Also, gender-based barriers impact SSA, placing women at disadvantage. concludes it crucial leverage drivers improve rates SSA.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technologies offer effective solutions to reduce the negative effects of crop pests while considering human and environmental health. However, disseminating these faces several barriers, with one most significant being lack farmer awareness regarding their availability, deployment, uptake. Digital tools are perceived as a new form leverage for overcoming barriers. This study analyzes current IPM digital potential boost farmers' deployment adoption technologies. From software engineering perspective, this aims emphasize critical functionalities limitations various dissemination tools. It provides valuable insights improve process streamline Through systematic search in Google, Scopus Web Science journal articles, over 32 were identified. The thoroughly assesses identifies 5 main hindering regular use, especially developing countries. Among inadequate representation developed countries, agroecological customization, insufficient offline functionalities. Building on findings, user-centered design is employed propose architecture novel Decision Support System (DSS) tailored farmers experts. comprises local database access, mapping engine data visualization, conversation module triangulation knowledge sharing, an agroecology technology recommendation based classification user's landscape. Drawing from review, identified limitations, proposed architecture, we illustrate how resulting DSS anticipated

Abstract International civil society and non-government organisations (NGOs) play a role in implementing agricultural projects, which contribute to the mitigation, adaptation, food security dimensions of climate-smart agriculture (CSA). Despite growth CSA, it remains unclear how CSA is designed, conceptualised, embedded into development projects led implemented by NGOs, creating lack clarity as direction future interventions. This paper examines extent programmes from NGO sector actively incorporate principles benefit smallholder farmers under major pillars CSA. Drawing six projects’ documentation since 2009, we conducted thematic analysis reveal alignment with discuss allows for localised adaptability given diverse contexts NGOs work. We find that despite definition focus, practices make heterogenous contributions adoption principles. illustrate diversity ways ‘done’ global across areas: greening forests, knowledge exchange, markets, policy institutions, nutrition, carbon climate, gender. need balance contextual three explicit consideration trade-offs reduce unintended outcomes initiatives. conclude reflections on boundary agents sector.

Small-scale farmers in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) need to adopt and consistently practice sustainable agriculture ensure livelihoods food security. However, the adverse effects of climate change are threatening achievement this goal. Therefore, within sub-region embrace climate-smart (CSA) as a means for adaptation mitigation. This study was conducted understand, on one hand, how smart farming technologies being promoted Africa, other adopting prevailing technologies. The Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) procedures were followed identify 48 scientific papers Africa. It found that promoters include CGSpace, FAO, National Research Institutions, individual researchers, local institutions, private institutions. approach technology discourse starts by building efforts sustain CSA practices with gradual shift towards fourth revolution innovations. Even where there push beyond conventional sector, farmers’ responses still low. is recommended any intervention promote modern smallholders should build practices.

The scientific basis for conceptualizing how farm households achieve the three climate-smart agriculture (CSA) pillars, “triple benefit”, is not well developed. This paper examined impacts of CSA innovations on simultaneously enhancing food security, climate adaptation, and reducing GHG emissions. A cross-sectional household survey was collected from a multi-stage sample 424 smallholder farmers selected five agroecosystems upper Blue Nile highlands in Ethiopia analyzed using an endogenous switching regression (ESR) model. innovations, improved variety, compost, row planting, agroforestry, provide with benefits enhanced security change emissions plots. Crop rotation provides reduced livelihood vulnerability, while SWC meets goal Unfortunately, adopting crop residue management, one recommended practices Ethiopia, does deliver at least two pillars. Farmers should be encouraged to adopt rotation, soil water conservation, agroforestry as best portfolio innovation highland systems.
