1. Warmer and more extreme:- the global challenge
2. Rising to the challenge: CGIAR & CCAFS
3. Systems research: Linking knowledge and action

What is Climate Smart Agriculture?
Proposed goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its
impactsAim to enhance the
resilience of 500 million people in agriculture by
2030
SDG
sGACSA
Reduce emissions intensity of agriculture by 21% by 2030
2. Climate information services and climate-informed safety nets
3. Low emissions development

VISION 2025 FOR LATIN AMERICAInstead of being totally dependent on climate variability (droughts, floods, landslides), the agricultural sector in Latin America (LAM) manages climate to its advantage, or at least to avoid the bulk of negative consequences. LAM farmers and agricultural sector understand and react knowledgeably to climate variability and challenges, and implement sustainable and climate adapted practices to reduce food insecurity. Policy makers and planners at the national level are truly using climate information and tools to design and implement plans and strategies, and are finding ways to make climate information useful and applicable for end-users. Policy makers and planners are also promoting policy and interventions that combine and consider the trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation towards a low emissions agricultural development.
LAM’s FP1 2019 OutcomeLAM’s producers associations are choosing and promoting CSA context-specific practices through strengthened extension services rescuing ancient and traditional knowledge. Local governments develop equitable local agricultural development plans using CSA context-specific portfolios assessed economically to plan and prioritize their investments focusing on climate variability challenges. NARS develop demand-driven outputs with sufficient technological capacity to address agricultural sector needs to face climate challenges. Private sector works with producer’s associations, local and national governments to implement and scale out CSA involving agricultural market agents through innovative approaches (incentives along value chain to access to certification schemes). National governments scale up CSA approach based on successful experiences developed at local level.
LAM’s FP2 2019 OutcomeMeteorological Services generate tailored climate information for decision-makers both at national and local level. Ministries of Agriculture generate and communicate tailored agro-climate services through extension services to help smallholder farmers to reduce climate risks, as well as food security information to create informed safety nets. Research institutions develop demand-driven insurance options based on agro-climate information, seed markets, and CSA context-specific options. Private Sector contributes to the development and implements insurance options for smallholder farmers.
LAM’s FP3 2019 OutcomeNational governments formulate and implement NAMAS and LEDS based on improved data on smallholder agricultural GHG emissions and implement equitable policies to strengthen linkages among environment and agriculture in order to avoid deforestation from commodity agriculture, promote restoration to increase carbon sequestration and reduce GHG emissions from livestock and commodities. Research organizations generate improved data on smallholder agricultural GHG emissions. Local governments contribute to the development of NAMAS and LEDS action plans at local level.
LAM’s FP4 2019 OutcomeNational governments design and enact equitable food systems policies and strategies taking adaptation into consideration to support national and regional policy and global climate change negotiations. Private institutions develop and support implementation of NAPs and equivalent policies with their respective investment plans addressing climate challenges to increase food security and resilience to changes in climate.
LAM FP2 MOGs1. Tailored climate and agro-climate information such
as seasonal forecasts and food security information 2. Climate-informed tools for safety net decision
makers and participatory early warning systems3. Targeted dissemination mechanisms for rural
communities and climate-informed decision making-process tools
4. Agriculture insurance packages5. National and regional support climate-informed
tools for investment in climate informed agricultural and food security decision-making
LAM FP3 MOGs1. Options for silvopastoral, agroforestry and forest
management systems, Sustainable intensification of cattle systems options, improved data on emissions estimations at smallholder level and bank of land-use based options.
2. Enhanced practice and evidence-base outputs to support NAMAS in both commodities (basic grains, coffee) and livestock
3. Economic modeling and scenarios of land use change
4. Development landscapes and ecosystems restoration and deforestation reduction options
LAM FP4 MOGs1. Targeted decision-support tools to
address increase in investments from both public and private institutions (Analogues, AMKN, among others)
2. Planning guidelines and recommendations considering equity and social differentiation
3. Economic modelling to support decision making processes
4. Scenarios analysis including global and regional models to support decisions on policy and investments
5. Learning platforms and South-south exchange mechanisms.
LAM FP1 MOGs1. Context-specific CSA portfolios and evidence reports on
integration of ancient and traditional knowledge 2. Economic analysis of equitable best bet CSA practices and
technological packages3. Prioritization tools to support decision making and community
level learning process outputs 4. Crowdsourcing, climate site specific agriculture approach 5. Evidence to generate building capacity to support local
adaptation processes to scale up and out the successful approaches in the region

• Program Management Team • Independent Science Panel (no Centers or major Partners
as substantive members)• Can hire and fire management team members• Can set budgets and workplans
• To have strategic coherence and ability to implement at scale need Windows 1 and 2
9. Management authority
10. Good funding
