    Concern and climate smart agriculture

    30 October 2014

    For Concern, it is not just about promoting
    improvements in crop yields (or even reducing
    the seasonal variability of these) – we also want
    to see a stronger link between Climate Smart Agriculture and nutritional outcomes.

    Concern's approach to Climate Smart Agriculture is informed by our understanding of extreme poverty – recognising that extremely poor people often have few
    assets, gain poor returns on those assets, experience wide-ranging structural inequalities and are exposed to risks and vulnerabilities in many shapes and forms
