Peer-reviewed publicationJanuary, 2022GlobalCompelling evidence in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) shows that Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) has a positive impact on agricultural productivity. However, the uptake of CSA remains low, which is related to anthropogenic, or human-related, decisions about CSA and agricultural land use.

While agricultural land is increasing, forest land is decreasing across countries in SSA.
