The climate-smart village
The document discusses the Climate-Smart Village model developed by CCAFS to enhance the adaptive capacity of communities facing climate change, particularly through agriculture. It outlines strategies for sustainably increasing productivity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving food security while involving various stakeholders such as NGOs, local authorities, and farmers. The initiative includes testing agricultural interventions and providing resources such as climate information services and insurance to help smallholder farmers manage risks and build resilience.
