The brief synthesizes robust evidence on climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices on adaptive crop management and agroforestry that strengthen household resilience to climate shocks in Burkina Faso and Africa south of the Sahara (SSA). The findings highlight a set of proven practices, including agroforestry, farmer-managed natural regeneration (FMNR), improved seeds, integrated soil fertility management (ISFM), and composting. These practices deliver consistent benefits in terms of yield gains, improved soil fertility, enhanced water retention, diversified incomes, and stronger food security under climate stress.
