Organic Agriculture excludes the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. It relies on ecological processes and cycles, enhances biodiversity, and improves soil organic matter, which contributes to carbon sequestration.

Agroforestry involves integrating trees and shrubs into crop and livestock systems to enhance productivity, biodiversity, and land use sustainability. Its climate benefits include carbon sequestration, improved soil health, and diverse microclimates.

Conducting climate risk assessments helps farmers understand and prepare for potential climate-related threats, improving farm resilience.

IPM is a sustainable approach to managing pests by combining biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks. It helps reduce the overuse of pesticides and promote natural pest control mechanisms.

Optimizing the use of manure and fertilizers can reduce nitrous oxide emissions and prevent nutrient runoff, minimizing environmental impact.

Inclusive processes involving farmers in governance and policy making can lead to more effective climate-smart agriculture strategies.

Access to innovative financing options can empower farmers to invest in adaptive measures and sustainable technologies.

Developing and using crops that can withstand extreme weather can help ensure food security despite changing climate conditions.

Drip Irrigation is a water-saving technology that delivers water directly to the plant roots. It reduces water usage, minimizes evaporation and runoff, and can improve crop yield which leads to less land being needed for cultivation.

Rainwater Harvesting involves collecting and storing rainwater for agricultural use. It reduces reliance on groundwater, mitigates the effects of drought, and decreases runoff and soil erosion, thus helping to adapt to and mitigate climate change.

Conservation Agriculture focuses on minimum soil disturbance (no-till farming), maintaining soil cover (mulch), and crop rotations. It reduces soil erosion, increases water retention, and sequesters carbon in soil.

Effective monitoring and evaluation ensure continual improvement and accountability in the implementation of climate-smart agriculture practices.

Organic farming practices, which exclude synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, can enhance biodiversity and soil organic matter, helping to mitigate climate change.

Proper management can minimize methane and nitrous oxide emissions from manure, significantly reducing a farm's carbon footprint.

Building resilient agricultural infrastructure can withstand extreme weather events, reducing potential damage and ensuring continuity of farming operations.

These systems provide farmers with timely information on climate risks, enabling them to take preventative measures to protect their livelihoods.

Instituting carbon pricing for agriculture incentivizes farmers to adopt practices that reduce emissions and can finance investments in clean technologies.

Breeding crops and livestock for enhanced resistance to climate change can ensure food production sustainability and resilience.

Crop Diversification involves growing a variety of crops to improve farm productivity and resilience. It reduces reliance on a single crop, enhances soil health, and can buffer against climatic variations and market fluctuations.

Preparedness planning enables farmers to respond effectively to climate-induced natural disasters, minimizing losses and disruptions to food supply.

Rotational Grazing is the practice of moving livestock between pastures to allow vegetation to regenerate. It improves pasture productivity, enhances soil structure and fertility, and can sequester more carbon in soil compared to continuous grazing.

Improving energy efficiency on farms can reduce emissions and lower operating costs, making farms more sustainable and resilient.

Using biodiversity and ecosystem services to help communities adapt to the adverse effects of climate change ensures long-term sustainability.

Utilizing legumes and other nitrogen-fixing plants can reduce the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Creating sustainable supply chains encourages the adoption of sustainable farming practices and reduces emissions throughout the food system.

Adapting livestock management to anticipate climate change impacts can secure animal health and productivity, and reduce emissions.

Cover cropping involves planting specific crops to cover soil between periods of regular crop production. This practice improves soil structure, enhances nutrient cycling, suppresses weeds, and reduces soil erosion, contributing to climate change mitigation.

Precision Agriculture uses technology to make farming more accurate and controlled. It optimizes inputs like water and fertilizers, reduces waste, and leads to more efficient land use, which decreases greenhouse gas emissions.

Monitoring greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural activities can help identify key areas for improvement and track progress over time.
