I believe that agroforestry systems, mixed plantings, rescue of traditional agricultural crop varieties that are regionally adapted, soil protection through organic cover, strengthening of cultivation systems traditionally developed by peasants and locally adapted, incorporation of trees into agricultural systems.
Climate-smart agriculture is an integrated approach to managing landscapes cropland, livestock, forests and fisheries that address the interlinked challenges of food security and climate change. Climate-smart agriculture is a pathway towards development and food security built on three pillars: increasing productivity and incomes, enhancing resilience of livelihoods and ecosystems and reducing and removing greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere.
