Beyond climate-smart agriculture: toward safe operating spaces for global food systems by Neufeldt, Henry, Jahn, Molly M., Campbell, Bruce M., Beddington, J.R., DeClerck, Fabrice A.J., Pinto, Alex de, Gulledge, J, Hellin, Jonathan, Herrero, Mario, Jarvis, Andy, LeZaks, D, Meinke, Holger, Rosenstock, Todd S., Scholes, M, Scholes, Robert J., Vermeulen, Sonja J., Wollenberg, Eva Karoline, Zougmoré, Robert B.

“…This new concept now dominates current discussions in agricultural development because of its capacity to unite the agendas of the agriculture, development and climate change communities under one brand. In this opinion piece authored by scientists from a variety of international agricultural and climate research communities, we argue that the concept needs to be evaluated critically because the relationship between the three dimensions is poorly understood, such that practically any improved agricultural practice can be considered climate-smart. …”
