A.1 Climate-smart agriculture practices
This set of guidelines provides techniques for sustainable agriculture - which will contribute to improving the health of the soil by enhancing its physical, chemical and biological properties. Good soil health will produce higher and more stable yields. These techniques contribute to avoiding erosion and controlling rainfall runoff, by increasing infiltration of rainwater and water holding properties. Climate-smart agriculture covers the principles and practices of conservation agriculture (CA), and permaculture or “natural farming”.
