Launch of the Remaining 11 English Climate Smart Agriculture Knowledge Products

The Centre for Coordination of Agriculture Research and Development in Southern Africa (CCARDESA) is excited to unveil 11 remaining English knowledge products (KPs) on Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA). This is part of CCARDESA's continued effort to strengthen the capacities of agricultural value chain actors to adapt to the negative impacts of climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the SADC region.  
These are the 11 remaining English knowledge products of the 24  to be launched. Prior to these KPs, 13 English Knowledge products were launched in June 2019, whose links are below and are highlighted in red.
