Abstract

This study reviews the literature published between 2013 and 2023 to comprehensively understand the consequences of adopting climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices. We categorize the literature into three categories based on the scopes of climate-smart agriculture: (a) sustainably increase agricultural productivity and incomes; (b) adapt and build the resilience of people and agrifood systems to climate change; and (c) reduce or where possible, avoid greenhouse gas emissions. The review demonstrates that adopting CSA practices, in many instances, improves farm productivity and incomes. This increase manifests in increasing crop yields and productivity, income and profitability, and technical and resource use efficiency. Moreover, adopting CSA practices reinforces the resilience of farmers and agrifood systems by promoting food consumption, dietary diversity, and food security and mitigating production risks and vulnerabilities. Adopting CSA practices is environmentally feasible as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves soil quality. An integrative strategy encompassing diverse CSA practices portends an optimized avenue to chart a trajectory towards agrifood systems fortified against climatic change.

提高农业生产率、收入、抗灾能力和温室气体减排的气候智能型农业做法：全面审查

本研究回顾了 2013 年至 2023 年间发表的文献，以全面了解采用气候智能型农业（CSA）做法的后果。我们根据气候智能型农业的范围将文献分为三类：(a) 可持续地提高农业生产率和收入；(b) 使人类和农业食品系统适应气候变化并增强其复原力；(c) 减少或尽可能避免温室气体排放。审查表明，在许多情况下，采用 CSA 做法可提高农业生产率和收入。这种提高表现为作物产量和生产率的提高、收入和盈利能力的提高以及技术和资源利用效率的提高。此外，通过促进粮食消费、膳食多样性和粮食安全，以及降低生产风险和脆弱性，采用 CSA 实践可增强农民和农粮系统的复原力。采用 CSA 实践在环境方面是可行的，因为它可以减少温室气体排放并改善土壤质量。一项包含多种 CSA 实践的综合战略预示着一条优化的途径，可以勾勒出农业食品系统抵御气候变化的轨迹。

期刊介绍： The Earth''s biosphere is being transformed by various anthropogenic activities. Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change addresses a wide range of environment, economic and energy topics and timely issues including global climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, acid deposition, eutrophication of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, species extinction and loss of biological diversity, deforestation and forest degradation, desertification, soil resource degradation, land-use change, sea level rise, destruction of coastal zones, depletion of fresh water and marine fisheries, loss of wetlands and riparian zones and hazardous waste management. Response options to mitigate these threats or to adapt to changing environs are needed to ensure a sustainable biosphere for all forms of life. To that end, Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change provides a forum to encourage the conceptualization, critical examination and debate regarding response options. The aim of this journal is to provide a forum to review, analyze and stimulate the development, testing and implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies at regional, national and global scales. One of the primary goals of this journal is to contribute to real-time policy analysis and development as national and international policies and agreements are discussed and promulgated.
