Abstract

Climatic transformation, particularly through greater incidence and concentration of climate extremes, is anticipated to negatively influence agriculture and food security, especially in developing countries highly dependent on rain-fed agriculture. Although previous literature Argo-economic growth nexus rarely considered potential sectoral shifts causing increased disaster risks, socio-economic losses, and environmental problems. Therefore, this is an attempt to summarize the economic consequences of adopting Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) to attain food security and sustainable growth under climate change. For that purpose, Pakistan can be considered a developing country vulnerable to climate change-associated risks. Afterward, a qualitative approach was employed to determine the severity of the crisis faced by farmers and concerned communities. Furthermore, the optimization technique is suitable, where policymakers try to maximize welfare in current and future scenarios linked with the overall agricultural population. Moreover, this research can be included in analyses of several constraints and preferences of CSA design to apply it to several localities and conditions having numerous implications for innovation, research, and sustainable development
