"Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is an approach for developing actions needed to transform
and reorient agricultural systems to effectively support development and ensure food security
under climate change. CSA aims to tackle three main objectives: sustainably increasing
agricultural productivity and incomes; adapting and building resilience to climate change; and
reducing and/or removing greenhouse gas emissions, where possible
(http://www.fao.org/climate-smart-agriculture-sourcebook/concept/en/).
FAOs CCA foresee a broader approach, working to build synergies among social protection
and climate change to achieve sustainable growth and eliminate rural poverty. FAO uses a
“twin-track” approach, on the one hand taking immediate steps to protect and support
agriculture, food and nutrition, and on the other addressing in the longer term the underlying
factors driving risks, disasters and crises. FAO’s work focuses on developing, protecting and
restoring sustainable livelihoods so that the integrity of societies that depend on farming,
livestock, fish, forests and other natural resources is not threatened by crises. CSA uses a
comprehensive approach in seeking to improve rural livelihoods, increasing the productivity
and resilience of poor communities, including rural women and girls, while also providing
mitigation benefits.
Climate-smart agriculture is a holistic system applicable to big farms cultivating thousands of
acres as well as smallholder farmers who live and work on fewer than 10 acres of land. The
principles can have positive effects for farmers, the land, water, and wildlife. It helps reduce
the negative impacts of climate change to agriculture and boost positive ones, protecting agroecosystems, and promoting healthier, more resilient landscapes, which in the aggregate,
contributes to climate change mitigation and food security.
Being an agricultural country, Myanmar economy mainly relies on agriculture. In Myanmar,
most of the people consider “Agriculture” as the production of crops. However, it has a wider
scope not only crop and livestock production but also covers fisheries and forest management.
Agriculture sector contributed to 28.6 % of total export earnings in 2015-2016 and employed
61.25 % of the labour force (MOALI, 2017)..."
