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

Abstract: The scientific basis for conceptualizing how farm households achieve the three climate-smart agriculture (CSA) pillars, the “triple benefit”, is not well developed. This paper examined the impacts of CSA innovations on simultaneously enhancing food security, climate adaptation, and reducing GHG emissions. A cross-sectional household survey was collected from a multi-stage sample of 424 smallholder farmers selected from five agroecosystems of the upper Blue Nile highlands in Ethiopia and analyzed using an endog… Show more

“…Likewise, Adopters of soil and water conservation (SWC) practices have borderline food security, with a significantly lower FCS value compared to non-adopters who have an acceptable food security status (p < 0.01). This negative effect on food security aligns with the finding that the impact of SWC on crop yield is influenced by factors such as rainfall characteristics, crop type, slope, and soil conditions (Teklu et al, 2022). Moreover, the effect of SWC on crop yield was negatively correlated with rainfall for SWC, including level Fanya juu, graded soil bunds, stone bunds, and trash lines, which are the main characteristics of the Choke Mountain watershed (Kato et al, 2011;Wolka et al, 2018).…”

“…Adoption of CSA innovations directly affects crop-livestock productivity, non-food agricultural production such as fuel wood lot, and off-farm activities. The agricultural food stack is used for household food consumption, while sales of agricultural products and fuel wood lots, help to access food from the market and pay for health and water sanitation (Teklu et al, 2022). The feedback due to climate change will affect the decision to adopt CSA innovations.…”

“…Because digital agriculture can play a significant role in supporting climate-smart agricultural innovation by providing tools and technologies that enable farmers to make informed decisions based on real-time data, improve resource efficiency, and adapt to changing climatic conditions, it is unsurprising that the pink cluster is positioned adjacent to the red one in Figure 4. The pink cluster is prominently represented by the works by Geda and Kühl (2021) and Teklu et al (2022Teklu et al ( , 2023aTeklu et al ( , 2023b. Geda and Kühl (2021) investigate the alignment between farmers' preferences and breeders' priorities in Ethiopia, focusing on bean varieties.…”

“…Their findings highlight the need for demand-driven breeding and dissemination strategies to enhance the adoption of climate-smart bean varieties. Teklu et al (2022Teklu et al ( , 2023aTeklu et al ( , 2023b evaluate the impact of CSA innovations on food security, climate adaptation, climate resilience capacity development, and GHG emissions reduction. They also study the adoption rates, intensities, and factors influencing the uptake of CSA innovations in Ethiopia.…”

“…These technologies can reduce drought-associated agriculture failures, improve productivity, and stimulate soil fertility. Also, evidence from Ethiopia proved that adopting improved seed variety and compost enhances adaptation, ensures greenhouse gas mitigation and promotes food security(Teklu et al, 2022). These technologies improve productivity and incomes, store carbon in plants, and make smallholder peri-urban producers resilient.…”
