Effectiveness of Climate-Smart Agriculture Innovations in Smallholder Agriculture System in Ethiopia

Abyiot Teklu, Belay Simane, Mintewab Bezabih · 2022 · Sustainability

Summary. This study evaluated how climate-smart agriculture innovations affect smallholder farmers in Ethiopia's highlands. Using data from 424 farmers, researchers found that improved crop varieties, compost, row planting, and agroforestry simultaneously boost food security, climate adaptation, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Crop rotation and soil conservation each delivered two of these three benefits. Crop residue management failed to meet the targets. The authors recommend farmers adopt a portfolio combining improved varieties, crop rotation, compost, row planting, soil conservation, and agroforestry.
