“…On the other hand, most activities in this regard have concentrated on hardware and technology with much less attention to the software and learning to protect the Earth. Berhanu et al (2024) revealed that educational programs and farm visits positively influenced CSA-adopting smallholders' resilience. Jomegi et al (2023) argue that there is a positive relationship between climate-smart practices and such factors as farmers' knowledge and skill.…”

The research aimed to identify the challenges of developing and implementing a climate-smart agriculture (CSA)-based curriculum in Iran’s agricultural vocational schools. It was exploratory descriptive-analytical in nature and applied in goal, in which data were collected with the library and deep interview method. The research methodology was based on grounded theory. The statistical population was composed of 16 researchers, authors, managers, and experts of the Office of Textbook Compilation of the Organization for Educational Research and Planning and the Research Center of Educational Studies. The participants were selected by the homogenous purposive sampling method. The interview with the target population continued until it reached theoretical saturation. Data were analyzed using the content analysis method. The data collected in the interviews were subjected to open, axial, and selective coding, which resulted in deriving 119 concepts and 28 categories. The results revealed a seven-dimension structure composed of the challenges related to determining educational goals, trainees, trainers’ professional process, teaching methods, curriculum content selection and organization, curriculum implementation, and curriculum appraisal. The results can help the experts in the Office of Textbook Compilation experts adopt smarter policies and solutions to solve the challenges of developing and implementing a CSA-based curriculum in agricultural vocational schools in Iran.

Wolaita zone, like most other Ethiopian zones, is subject to top‐down policy formulation with limited opportunities to engage with local populations. This is at odds with conventional thinking that seeks to “value” local knowledge and experience. This study aims to address this anomaly by building a rich baseline on livelihood practices and locally experienced adaptation strategies elicited from 400 households and six districts of the zone. The study was designed to accommodate agroecologies and technologies (GPS) to overcome challenges associated with changing farm ownership and kebele boundaries. The researcher can go back to the same 400 locations at 2‐year intervals to monitor livelihood changes and to ascertain the rationale for these changes. Data are analyzed using the linear mixed‐effects models to compare the level of changes and causes. It is anticipated that this methodology will significantly contribute to providing policymakers with evidence‐based and up‐to‐date information continuously.
