The overlooked spatial dimension of climate‐smart agriculture

Abstract: Climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) and sustainable intensification (SI) are widely claimed to be high‐potential solutions to address the interlinked challenges of food security and climate change. Operationalization of these promising concepts is still lacking and potential trade‐offs are often not considered in the current continental‐ to global‐scale assessments. Here we discuss the effect of spatial variability in the context of the implementation of climate‐smart practices on two central indicators, namely yi… Show more

“…Precision agriculture ensures profitability, manageability and protection of the environment [51]. Climate-smart agriculture and sustainable intensification are broadly professed to be high-potential answers for mentioning the interlinked challenges on hunger elimination and climate monitoring [52]. Agribusiness is being viewed as one of the best fields where UAVs can offer answers for resolving numerous prevailing and durable issues.…”

“…104 Implementing CSA at scale requires a multi-disciplinary approach that goes beyond the biophysical piloting of options in specific agro-ecologies, and seeks to understand how these options can be embedded in a given socio-economic context and how science-policy interfacing (see the "Enabling environment and the science policy interface" section) can help bring them to scale. 105 A starting point in this process is the identification of the trade-offs and synergies of CSA practices across space and time, 106 followed by participatory processes that help identify what options have the largest potential (based on their biophysical performance and farmer adoption). Partey et al 107 show that agroforestry options (i.e.…”

“…They provided examples to demonstrate the importance of SI in CSA, such as banana-coffee intercropping or livestock diet intensification through agroforestry. But the same rule applies to CSA-SI than to CSA itself: spatial variation always should be taken into account and implementation should be targeted [45]. CSA has a global aim that requires local actions.…”
