Popis: The reality of climate change is harsh and it’s a bitter truth for most of our farmers. In the present situation, climate change is one of the most important challenges to food security. Pertinent actions are, therefore, needed to address these challenges to enable the agricultural sector to significantly contribute to the attainment of agriculture development. Climate adaptive agricultural approach is an approach for developing agricultural strategies to secure sustainable food security under climate change. Through CAA the quality and quantity of agricultural production can be increased and production costs can be decreased. For example, with climatologically data it is also possible to recognize bad weather conditions and to be more prepared to minimize the damage. Many projects have recently adopted with the idea of climate smart agriculture for mitigating the challenges of climate change. With the help of suitable extension approaches we can effectively disseminate various climate smart agricultural practices to farming community.
