This is especially true in developing countries, where climate change has been linked to things like unsustainable land management, land degradation, and greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. All of these things lead to less agricultural production, which puts food security at risk. An increase in GHGs, largely attributable to human activity, has altered earth�s climate during the past few millennia. Similarly, increasing production costs have negatively impacted crop and livestock productivity due to climate change. This is evident in more erratic and inconsistent rainfall patterns, major floods, frequent droughts, increased pests and disease rates, and inconsistent agricultural planting seasons. Decreased agricultural output due to a failure to adjust to shifting climate conditions has severe effects on both food security and economic expansion. Increased adaptability to climate change, mitigation of climate change, and global food security through new policies, practises, and funding are the three issue areas that climate-smart agriculture (CSA) addresses simultaneously to aid agricultural systems around the world. Adopting CSA methods is crucial for economic development, food security, environmental sustainability, and ecosystem protection in developing nations because it helps the farming community mitigate the effects of climate change on agriculture. Though many resources have been poured towards improving CSA in developing nations, it has not led to widespread adoption of CSA principles on farms there. Nevertheless, CSA is highly recommended as a key component to the expansion of the agricultural sector because of the crucial function it serves. Maintaining agricultural output in the face of climate change and reducing GHG emissions necessitates the adoption of CSA on the field level. � 2024 selection and editorial matter, Habib Ali, Youming Hou, and Muhammad Bilal Tahir; individual chapters, the contributors.enArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1201/9781003382089-14
