Course Summary

Climate change is reshaping agricultural systems across emerging markets, placing pressure on productivity, water resources, food security, and rural economies. This training course examines how climate-smart agriculture integrates adaptation, productivity, and emissions reduction into a unified operational framework that supports long-term agricultural resilience. Participants explore practical approaches for implementing climate-smart agricultural systems across dryland, tropical, and rangeland environments while addressing climate exposure, resource management, and sustainable production challenges. The Climate-Smart Agriculture & Resilient Production Systems training course equips professionals with practical strategies to strengthen agricultural resilience, improve operational sustainability, and support climate adaptation initiatives across farming systems and value chains.

The training course further explores water management, resilient crop and livestock systems, climate finance, and policy frameworks required to scale climate-smart agriculture effectively. Participants gain insight into conservation agriculture, agroforestry, irrigation infrastructure, and climate finance mechanisms that support sustainable agricultural transformation. Emphasis is placed on applying climate-smart frameworks to improve productivity, strengthen adaptation capacity, and support long-term resilience planning. The Climate-Smart Agriculture & Resilient Production Systems training course prepares professionals to design and implement practical agricultural adaptation strategies that respond to climate stress in emerging markets.

Course Outline
Day 1

The Climate-Agriculture System

This day introduces climate exposure risks affecting agricultural systems and explores the climate-smart agriculture framework. Participants examine regional climate challenges and the relationship between climate-smart, sustainable, and regenerative agriculture. The topics covered will include:

  • The state of the climate science: current findings relevant to agriculture
  • Climate exposure mapping: temperature, rainfall, extreme weather, pest range shifts
  • The climate-smart agriculture framework: productivity, adaptation and mitigation as integrated goals
  • CSA, sustainable agriculture and regenerative agriculture: where they overlap and where they differ
  • Regional outlook: Asia, Middle East and Africa climate exposure
Day 2

Adaptation at Farm and Landscape Level

This day focuses on farm-level and landscape-level adaptation practices that strengthen resilience and productivity. Participants explore conservation agriculture, agroforestry, crop diversification, and soil health management. The topics covered will include:
  • Conservation agriculture: minimum tillage, cover crops, residue retention
  • Agroforestry systems: alley cropping, silvopasture, fruit-tree integration
  • Crop diversification and rotation as adaptation strategy
  • Integrated pest management and biological controls
  • Soil health management and organic matter restoration
Day 3

Water, Irrigation and the Arid-Region Toolkit

This day examines water stress diagnostics and climate-resilient irrigation systems suitable for arid environments. Participants explore rainwater harvesting, wastewater use, and controlled-environment agriculture approaches. The topics covered will include:

  • Water stress diagnostics: rainfall, evapotranspiration, groundwater
  • Solar-powered drip irrigation: system design, pumping, distribution
  • Rainwater harvesting and zai pit techniques
  • Greywater and treated wastewater use in agriculture
  • Controlled-environment agriculture as adaptation: vertical farming, hydroponics, greenhouses
Day 4

Resilient Varieties, Pests and Climate-Resilient Livestock

This day focuses on resilient crop varieties, pest management, and livestock adaptation strategies under climate stress. Participants examine agricultural responses to changing environmental conditions. The topics covered will include:

  • Drought-tolerant and heat-tolerant variety options: maize, sorghum, millet, wheat
  • Pest and disease range shifts and management responses
  • Climate-resilient livestock: feed, water, shelter, breed selection
  • Pastoralist systems under climate stress
  • Aquaculture in warming oceans and freshwater systems
Day 5

Finance, Policy and the CSA Roadmap

This day explores climate finance mechanisms, insurance models, and policy frameworks that support climate-smart agriculture implementation. Participants examine sustainability integration and agricultural adaptation planning. The topics covered will include:

  • Climate finance landscape: multilateral adaptation funds, bilateral support, blended finance
  • Carbon markets and agricultural offsets
  • Weather-indexed and parametric crop insurance
  • National adaptation plans and the role of agriculture
  • CSA in corporate sustainability strategy
Certificates
  • Upon successful completion of this training course, GLOMACS Certificate will be awarded to the delegates. Continuing Professional Education credits (CPE): In accordance with the standards of the National Registry of CPE Sponsors, one CPE credit is granted per 50 minutes of attendance
