This study sought out the insights from five reports on innovation models designed to improve smallholder farmers’ resilience to climate change. Vuna, a DFID-funded programme, adopted an action research approach to generate reliable evidence on the impact of innovations on increasing the resilience of individuals, households, and markets. All five reports are on our reports pages.

This paper is one of five climate-smart agriculture (CSA) innovation model papers based on the adoption and integration of various climate-smart agricultural approaches to smallholder farming in East and Southern Africa. Funded by DFID, the cases draw on pilot initiatives within the Agricultural Development portfolio of the Vuna programme.
