Conservation Agriculture and Sustainable Intensification of Smallholder Farming Systems as a Transformational Climate Change: Proof of Concept.

Abstract

This project aims to undertake a targeted assessment to explore opportunities for the implementation of conservation agriculture and sustainable intensification of smallholder farming systems as a transformational adaptation to climate change in selected countries of the Pacific.
