“…Relative priority of each of the objective of CSA fluctuates with locations, for example, small farmers of developing countries need more emphasis on productivity and adaptive capacity (Neufeldt et al 2013;Campbell et al 2014). CSA has been getting a mounting attention particularly in developing world due to its capabilities to enhance agricultural productivity and agroecosystem resilience while reducing GHG emission (Grainger-Jones 2011; Long et al 2016;Mwongera et al 2017). …”

Sustainable food production is one of the major challenges of the twenty-first century in the era of global environmental problems such as climate change, increasing population and natural resource degradation including soil degradation and biodiversity loss. Climate change is among the greatest threats to agricultural systems. Green Revolution though multiplied agricultural production several folds but at the huge environmental cost including climate change. It jeopardized the ecological integrity of agroecosystems by intensive use of fossil fuels, natural resources, agrochemicals and machinery. Moreover, it threatened the age-old traditional agricultural practices. Agriculture is one of the largest sectors that sustain livelihood to maximum number of people and contribute to climate change. Therefore, a climate-smart approach to sustainable food production is the need of hour. Traditional agriculture is getting increased attention worldwide in context of sustainable food production in changing climate. The present article advocates traditional agriculture as a climate-smart approach for the sustainable food production and also deliberates the correlation between climate change and agriculture.

“…When examining specifically agricultural technological innovation, the majority of studies focus on adoption from an economic perspective, assuming economic rationality or efficient choice making [18][19][20] and emphasize the economic aspects and the social and geographic barriers that limit farmers' ability to adopt new technologies and practices (see e.g., [17,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27]). …”

Food for Hope: The Role of Personal Resources in Farmers’ Adoption of Green Technology

Innovative technologies are expected to play a significant role in climate change mitigation and adaptation within the agriculture sector and in global food security. Clearly, however, the value of technological innovations in the agriculture sector is premised on their adoption. Therefore, understanding why farmers differ in their adoption of innovative green technologies is important. In the following paper, we review current literature and set the theoretical framework for suggesting that three important personal resources correlate with agricultural technology adoption: positive emotions, character strengths (including specific ones), and cognitive goal-oriented hope. This study constitutes an important theoretical basis for future practical recommendations for environmental policy, positive psychology, and innovation adoption that may help narrow some of the gaps in technology adoption rates. In addition to its theoretical innovation, the importance of this study lies in its practical value: we focus on variables that are influenced through policy, education, and communication. The theoretical connections between positive psychology and environmental studies emerging from this study should be developed and explored. We hope that this new perspective will motivate future research on these factors within diverse farming communities across different nations.

“…CSA may involve a wide range of technological innovations, water management, and agro-forestry [2]. Adopting it at farm scale may be influenced by institutional mechanisms, landscape governance, socio-economic factors, and climate conditions [3].…”

Abstract-Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is an emerging concept that adapts agricultural production to climate change. It is an integrative approach for developing agricultural strategies that will secure sustainable food security under climate change. It is one response to the challenges of climate change. It helps to make agriculture, forestry, and fisheries to be more productive and sustainable. This paper provides a brief introduction to climate-smart agriculture.
