Launch of “Climate-Smart Agriculture in Action” case studies and animated video by Farming First and GACSA

More than a billion farmers and their families around the world are on the front line of climate change. Their lives and livelihoods are directly affected by its impacts, but they are also vital to implementing many of the solutions we need to help prevent it. But what exactly is “climate-smart agriculture”, and how is it working around the world?

Explore the “Climate-Smart Agriculture in Action” series, by Farming First and GASCA, with 28 case studies and a new animated video here.

Farming First supporters and members of the Global Alliance on Climate-Smart Agriculture (GACSA) have come together to share their stories of success. Explore 28 brand new case studies from all over the world, in which farmers are learning to grow more food, become more resilient to a changing climate and minimise their own agricultural emissions.
