Climate change adaptation refers to natural or human systems changes in response to current or predicted climatic stressors or their consequences. For example, farmers may adapt to unexpected floods, irregular rainfall, or temperature changes. Effective adaptation planning requires data on the effects of real farmer adaptation on agriculture yields. However, analyzing the consequences and outcomes of adaptation and providing practice recommendations can be challenging. The effectiveness of facilitating learning among participants about adaptation practice and planning can be assessed using a social learning-based evaluation methodology. Climate-smart agriculture, which involves adapting to and anticipating shifting weather patterns, can increase agricultural production. A mixed, diverse or diversified system can better withstand the effects of climate change. Successful adoption of technology and environmental and social concerns has been demonstrated in decent agriculture practices in every agro-ecological zone.
