Climate-Smart Agriculture was originally defined in a 2010 study by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Climate change, according to the research, has harmed agriculture. At the same time, the analysis found that agricultural greenhouse gas emissions exacerbated climate change. Climate-Smart Agriculture was envisioned as a means for farmers to handle these dual issues while sustaining yields. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) is a set of farming methods designed to increase the resilience and productivity of land affected by climate change.
