ABSTRACT Climate change poses a significant threat to global food security, necessitating innovative solutions to ensure sustainable agricultural productivity. Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) technologies represent a promising approach to mitigate these impacts while enhancing food security. This paper evaluates the efficacy of CSA technologies in improving crop yields, resource efficiency, and resilience to climate change, employing a mixed methods research approach that integrates quantitative and qualitative data. The study begins with a comprehensive literature review, highlighting the evolution and key components of CSA, including precision farming, sustainable land management, and agroforestry. Case studies from diverse regions illustrate the practical applications and benefits of CSA technologies. Quantitative data is gathered through surveys and statistical analysis to assess improvements in crop yields and resource use efficiency. Qualitative data, obtained via interviews with farmers and agricultural experts, provides insights into the socio-economic and cultural factors influencing the adoption of CSA practices.
