Abstract
Agriculture output is currently under severe threat from global climate change. The two biggest challenges of this century are thought to be reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and maintaining food security. The idea of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) can address the difficulties facing agricultural development. By improving adaptation, lowering GHG emissions, and assuring domestic food security, it can achieve this in a sustainable manner. There hasn't been any comprehensive research done yet on CSA advancements in developed and developing nations. Reviewing the recent developments, difficulties, and potential future orientations of CSA will be both timely and beneficial. The definition of CSA and its development objectives are discussed in this article. The most recent CSA developments in industrialized and developing nations are then examined. The current issues and difficulties in CSA are examined and identified. Finally, suggestions for the future prospects and directions of CSA are made. The primary directions for CSA's future development include using cutting-edge internet technology to ensure the security of agricultural information, enhancing crop management and planting practices, providing "internet + weather" services to raise the caliber of agricultural services, and offering insurance based on agricultural weather indices. This review article offers fresh concepts and methods for enhancing ecological environmental defense, encouraging environmentally friendly agricultural development, and reducing the impact of climate change.
