Determinants Of Choice And Effect Of Climate Smart Agricultural Practices On Household Food Security

Abstract

A significant barrier to agricultural expansion and sustainable intensification is the need to ensure social justice in programs aimed at enhancing food security. Two hundred and sixty-nine smallholder farm families (HHs) in Bihar, India, had their food security and means of subsistence evaluated. Before moving on to the next stage of our four-part research, we used a multivariate statistical approach to identify key distinctions across five distinct agricultural system categories. Finally, we used scenario analysis to investigate how the implementation of 'climate smart' agricultural (CSA) techniques including conservation agriculture (CA) and enhanced cattle husbandry, as well as climatic shocks, would affect HH PFA.
