| Summary: | Climate change poses a major threat to
food systems and livelihoods all over the world.
Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) addresses these challenges.
CSA stands for including climate change into the planning
and implementation of sustainable agricultural strategies.
More specifically, CSA has three objectives to achieve these
overarching goals: (1) sustainably increasing agricultural
productivity to support equitable increases in incomes and
food security; (2) adapting and building resilience to
climate change from the farm to national levels; and (3)
developing opportunities to reduce GHG emissions from
agriculture (FAO 2013). The report is structured as follows:
the report starts with a brief overview of the framework for
economic and financial analyses in section two; section
three, provides an overview of benefit and cost categories
that are relevant for CSA; section four, provides
descriptions of 10 salient features of CSA as may be
relevant for EFAs; section five, presents findings of the
review of 10 EFAs of agriculture lending projects; section
six, provides a brief overview of techniques or tools that
could support the presentation of CSA in EFAs; and section
seven concludes. |
