    The climate-smart agriculture (CSA) concept reflects an
    ambition to further integrate agricultural development and
    climate responsiveness. CSA aims to achieve food security
    and broader development goals under a changing climate
    and increasing food demand. CSA initiatives sustainably
    increase productivity, enhance resilience, and minimize
    greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. Increased planning is
    vital in order to address tradeoffs and synergies between
    the three pillars: productivity, adaptation, and mitigation

    Dilemma of nitrogen management for future food security in sub-Saharan Africa – a review

    Food security entails having sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet dietary needs. The need to optimise nitrogen (N) use for nutrition security while minimising environmental risks in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is overdue. Challenges related to managing N use in SSA can be associated with both insufficient use and excessive loss, and thus the continent must address the ‘too little’ and ‘too much’ paradox. Too little N is used in food production (80% of countries have N deficiencies), which has led to chronic food insecurity and malnutrition.

    Invest in climate-smart soil and land health

    Better soil health can increase agricultural productivity. Restoration activities can build on-farm resilience and contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation.

    Land and soil health surveys can improve crop modeling predictions under various climate scenarios and guide more targeted interventions.

    Currently, most assessments of land and soil health do not consider the social, ecological, and biophysical constraints, or acknowledge the variations in the landscape.
