Climate Change and Agriculture: Adaptation Strategies and Mitigation Opportunities for Food Security in South Asia and Latin America by Jat, Mangi Lal, Dagar, Jagdish Chander, Sapkota, Tek Bahadur, Singh, Yadvinder P., Govaerts, Bram, López Ridaura, Santiago, Saharawat, Yashpal S., Sharma, Ramesh Kumar, Tetarwal, J.P., Jat, Raj K., Hobbs, Huntington, Stirling, Clare M.

“…These regions also are demonstrating poor coping mechanisms to adapt to these challenges, and as a result there is evidence of negative impacts on productivity of wheat, rice, and other crops to varying extent depending on agroecologies. Upscaling of modern technologies such as conservation and climate smart agriculture, judicious utilization of available water for agriculture through microirrigation and water saving technologies, developing multiple stress-tolerant crop cultivars and biotypes through biotechnological tools, restoration of degraded soils and waters, promoting carbon sequestration through alternate production technologies and land use, and conservation of biodiversity must be promoted at regional and country level to ensure durable food and nutritional security. …”

Understanding adoption of conservation agriculture practices in Southern Africa: insights from household and community surveys and their implication for scaling: a synthesis report... by Chikoye, D., Alene, A., Hirpa Tufa, A., Ngoma, H., Marenya, P., Thierfelder, C.

“…For close to three decades, conservation agriculture (CA) has been proposed as one way to combat climate change and resource degradation, reduce drudgery, and enhance the productivity of smallholder farming systems, especially in resource-poor and agroecologically challenging environments. Yet, the benefits of CA to society require that the practice is adopted on a wide scale. …”
