Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is a specific form of sustainable agricultural production. CSA believes in the importance of adapting agricultural techniques according to the pressures posed by climate change. CSA also aims to remove greenhouse gas emissions from production while still ensuring high annual yields.
Climate-smart cocoa (CSC) is produced using sustainable practices. A long term goal of CSC is to increase farm income and production on existing farmland by adapting to the impacts of climate change on weather and land quality.
