1. A Tour to Climate
Smart Villages
For and on behalf of all the
actors of CSA
2. CCAFS Flagship 1 Projects
CCAFS Flagship Project 1.1
Developing, adapting and targeting
portfolios of climate smart agricultural
practices for sustainable intensification
of smallholder and vulnerable farming
systems in South Asia
• Science-based, scalable evidences for
CSAPs identified and implemented
through CSVs
• Framework for targeting large-scale
adoption of CSAP portfolios by a diverse
range of farm household types within
CSVs of different agro-ecologies
• Mechanism for verification/certification
of CSVs as indicators of improved
income, food security, livelihoods over
non-CSVs across diverse agro-
ecosystems2
CCAFS Flagship Project 1.2
Recommendation domains, incentives
and institutions for equitable local
adaptation planning at sub national level
and scaling up climate smart agricultural
practices in wheat and maize systems
• Guidelines, capacity, governance,
recommendation domains and synergies
for Local Adaptation Plan for Action (LAPA)
and CSVs for scaling Climate Smart
Agriculture Practices (CSAPs)
• Developing and defining innovative
business models and open innovation
platforms for scaling Climate Smart
Agriculture Practices (CSAPs)
• Develop incentive based policy instruments
that influence the trajectories of farmer
households towards better adaptation to
climate change

4. CSAR4D Approach
• System focused
• Participatory approach
• Continuum of ‘strategic-
applied research-capacity
development-delivery’
• Innovation systems
• Convergence and synergy
with networks, and
project, investments
• Consortium of active and
complementing
stakeholders with Farmer

12. Participatory strategic research for developing
portfolio of CSAPs
• 9 Sites across IGP
• Developing new generation scientists
• Scenario analysis-Modelling
26. CSAPs Powered with ICTs
• More awareness and thus informed
decisions - Better impact to manage
risk
• Better weather information,
adoption of LLL- waters saving,
improved application of
fertilizers- safeguarded during
rainfall uncertainty in 20014-15
• Expected multiplier effects of CSV’s
• Increased exposure to CSAP’s,
Collective decision, market
surplus of communities

smart corpus funds they have generated.
27. Mainstreaming Gender in CSV’s
• Understanding gender gap through baseline surveys
– Exist gender differences in access to resources,
education
– Although male and female both are involved in
agriculture, however decision making is largely
controlled by male
– gender differences makes it difficult for female
counterparts to adapt to various climate coping
strategies as effectively as done by the males.
• Thus need to integrate gender in household decision
making to adopt of CSAP’s
– Reducing information asymmetry and empowering them
with information- women in the male headed
households feel that their participation in family
agriculture has improved with increased information flow
– Making women in the households accountable for Book
keeping the expenses and savings -Lekha Jokha-. 141
HH in 33 villages (2014-15) with 18% women directly
recording the information.
– Training- Service windows, DSR, Green seeker,
weather related inf. etc.
• Creating gender empowerment index to measure the
change between CSVs and non CSVs
– Measuring access, control and giving appropriate
weights to indicators- Social, economic, political
and contribution to agriculture and livestock
28. Innovative business models for scaling CSA
• Enhancing the role of private sector in scaling up CSAP
• Three types of business models: back end (service
providers), front end (markets /export purpose) , end-to
end (value chain approach)

31. Typologies of Farming Systems
Vaishali district (CCAFS)
51 variables were used to classify 140 farm households
5 groups:
G0 Landless farmers (12)
G4. Resource poor mixed crop-livestock farmers (.3 Ha)(off farm)(32)
G1. Average mixed crop-livestock farmers (.65 Ha)(rent in)(38)
G3. Wealthy mixed crop-livestock farmers (1.3 Ha)(hire lab)(24)
G2. Non-livestock farmers (rent out)(34)
