Towards Mainstreaming Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) in Order to Achieve Food Security: Evidence from Experiences of some African Countries

Abstract

This study sought to highlight the features of the generalization of Climate-Smart Agriculture
(CSA) in the continent of Africa in general and in each of (Ghana, Democratic Republic of the
Congo, Mali, South Africa, Ethiopia) in particular. For this purpose, the concept of CSA was
clarified, and the role of its tools in adapting climate change with farming systems was highlighted,
in addition to diagnosing the reality of CSA in some African countries, as part of its endeavor to
achieve their food security. Through a comprehensive literature review and a case study of some
African countries, we found that despite all the efforts made, the lack of knowledge and skill of both
households and extension officials prevented an accurate understanding of the adoption of CSA
practices.
