Climate-smart agriculture aims to increase productivity and farmers' incomes, enhance livelihood resilience and ecosystems, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through three pillars. However, trade-offs may exist among these pillars, and monitoring and evaluation is key to analyzing practices and enabling farmers to share experiences in scaling up climate-smart approaches with support from other stakeholders like researchers and governments. New Zealand was presented as a case study of multi-stakeholder collaboration implementing and monitoring climate-smart livestock practices that reduce emissions.

Linking Monitoring & Evaluation
for CSA to the SDGs – synergies
vs. trade-offs among CSA pillars

2. Climate Smart
Agriculture:
 Climate-smart agriculture is an approach towards sustainable agriculture and
development that is built on three pillars:
- increasing productivity and farmers’ incomes
- enhancing resilience of livelihoods and ecosystems
- reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere.
Farmers are already implementing CSA practices around the world although this
implies an evaluation of trade offs and synergies (use of resources, changes in
the applied methods, the three pillars might not be always achieved together
etc.)
Monitoring & Evaluation is key to analyze practices and scale them up and
farmers need the support of other actors (research, governments, investors etc.)
to share their experiences and support the dissemination of CSA.

approaches through the Climakers Alliance

Agriculture: a case
from New Zealand
 CSA practices: concrete example from NZ
 New Zealand as a good example of multi-stakeholder collaboration
among different stakeholders (government, farmers, research
centers etc) especially in the implementation and monitoring of
CSA practices in livestock production and reduction of GHG
emissions
