Climate change is causing unpredictable weather patterns that threaten agriculture. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) helps farming adapt to and mitigate climate change to ensure food security. An IoT sensor network can sense local conditions, analyze big data using edge computing, and predict weather to help farming adapt through a continuous feedback loop. Open data standards and an e-government platform can further support CSA goals.

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is an approach
that helps to guide actions needed to transform
and reorient agricultural systems to effectively
support development and ensure food security in
a changing climate.

Editor's Notes
Climate change disrupt repeatable / predictable weather patterns
Enhanced Melting of Cryosphere
The cryosphere is the part of the Earth system comprised of frozen water: ice sheets and glaciers, snow, permafrost and sea ice. As the climate warms, the inevitable response of the cryosphere is enhanced melting. This has had, and will continue to have, profound global consequences. The most pressing of these involve:
thawing permafrost and the potential for enhanced natural emissions of carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere;
shrinking of mountain glaciers and large ice sheets with consequent sea-level rise and impacts on water resources; and
declining coverage of sea ice and snow, which will affect marine and ground transportation across the Arctic.
Unavailability of mechanisms that determine the location, intensity, and frequency of various climate extremes including droughts, floods, heavy precipitation events, heat waves, cold spells, tropical and extratropical storms, coastal sea level surges and ocean waves. This information is needed in the near-term (from a season to a year) to mitigate risks to society and ecosystems, and in the longer term (from a decade to centuries) for effective adaptation planning.
