IFPRI is participating in the 5th Global Science Conference on Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), which will be held from October 8-10, 2019.

Since the term climate-smart agriculture (CSA) was coined in 2010, the biannual global science conferences on CSA have emerged as the key global forum for scientific exchange to underpin CSA implementation. 

The conference will build on the lessons from the previous conferences, with the overarching theme, ‘Transforming food systems under a changing climate’, and will be held for the first time in Asia.
