Moved from climate resilience

I've just removed this content from climate resilience. Maybe some content could be integrated here under Examples. It's poorly sourced though (was added by a student here). EMsmile (talk) 12:31, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple returns of climate resilient agriculture will be delayed. One of India's strategies, responsive crop monitoring, cannot be planned. While the government is working to create systems to guide farmers in specific situations, response farming depends on the direction of climate change. Additionally, investing in tolerant livestock breeds will decrease production in the short term. Tolerant livestock's appeal lies in their ability to resist changes to the environment as climate change worsens.^[1] These immediate uncertainties are part of India's goal of promoting environmental health to support agricultural production long term.

Similar initiatives are implemented on local scales around the world. In the United States, the state of New York's Department of Agriculture started its Climate Resilient Farming program. This program aims to reduce the impact of climate change on agriculture and mitigate agriculture's impact on climate change. It promotes similar ideas to India's, including water management and the promotion of soil health. The climate-resilient programming also provides funds to help farmers reduce methane and properly store agricultural waste. New York state's focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions balances developing climate-resilient agriculture and the slowing of climate change.^[2]

Government support of this intersection is used to support change amongst individual farmers. As climate variability increases, the costs associated with promoting climate resilience become larger in comparison. The risk of investing in tolerant breeds, soil management, and proper environmental care can also be daunting to small farmers. Such individuals have reported hesitation to implement suggested practices like reducing herd size to promote soil-healthy grazing. The popularity of climate resilient farming amongst subsistence farmers helps ease the transition to a climate-resilient system. Alongside developing new techniques, farmers can use techniques they already knew, such as no-till farming and cover cropping.^[3]

Missing definition section?

I think this article is missing a "definition" section that clearly spells out one or several definitions for what climate smart agriculture is. (are there several competing definitions or just one?) EMsmile (talk) 09:42, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a "definition" section now. EMsmile (talk) 10:28, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
