Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) can help improve food security, increase resilience, and reduce emissions from agri-food systems, with huge benefits for people, the planet and economies. This event showcases how investment planning has supported the prioritization of CSA in Africa, driven sustainable investments, and influenced agricultural policies. The session will examine lessons learned from piloting CSA investment plans and how these plans can be scaled up through effective policies, context-specific technologies, and innovative financing for successful agricultural systems transformation.
