Climate-smart agriculture includes multidimensional interventions that achieve outcomes in yield, soil health, and economics while simultaneously addressing climate change-related challenges. Such agricultural interventions are inherently context specific with adoption responses varying under different social and environmental conditions. This ambiguity brings scientists, development practitioners, civil society and policy makers to ask: What is and what is not CSA?
P4S collaborators in Tanzania are helping stakeholders to address this question by refining a tool that identifies context-specific CSA strategies and outcomes. The Climate-Smart Agriculture Diagnostic (CSA-Dx) tool is a scalable framework for evaluating climate-smartness of management practices and technologies.
The P4S CSA-Dx pilot program elicits information about dozens of farmer-selected climate-smart agriculture practices and a refined approach to evaluating multi-objective synergies and trade-offs.
The program’s participatory research framework is implemented across multiple regions of Tanzania and Zanzibar, in collaboration with Tanzanian National Research Institutions.
