Africa can achieve sustainable development by scaling up "green economy" initiatives.

CGIAR Climate's insight:
"Farmers in different parts of the country are already practising farming with minimum tillage as a way of improving soil health and sequestering carbon, and so on," said the legislator. "We now have very successful projects such as "climate-smart" villages in different parts of the country, where farmers are working in groups to produce more from small pieces of land using appropriate technologies."
The "smart village" is a project implemented by the research program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) with funding from the World Bank.
