Food security and adaptation impacts of potential climate smart agricultural practices in Zambia

This research paper examines the relationship between food security outcomes and climatic variables in Zambia, specifically analyzing how climate-smart agricultural practices affect crop yields and resilience for smallholder farmers.

• The paper investigates the impact of specific agricultural practices—including reduced tillage, crop rotations, legume intercropping, and the use of modern inputs—on crop yields and the probability of disastrously low yields in Zambia.
• The study utilizes panel data from the Rural Incomes and Livelihoods Surveys (RILS) combined with geo-referenced historical rainfall and temperature data to determine how these agricultural practices interact with varying climatic conditions.
