Who We Are
Food security and climate change are intertwined.
The International Center for Climate-Smart Agriculture Technologies Studies Association is an international platform that develops innovative solutions to reduce the negative impacts of climate change on agricultural production. We aim to spread innovative technologies and policies that make agricultural production systems sustainable in the global fight against climate change.

Focus Areas
A holistic approach to climate-smart agriculture
We work across eight core areas, from research and policy advocacy to technology transfer and fund management.
Research and Development
Scientific research on the impacts of climate change on agriculture.
Capacity Building
Farmer training, seminars, certificate programmes and e-learning.
Policy and Advocacy
Contributing to national and international climate–agriculture policy.
Technology Transfer
Testing R&D results on demo farms and bringing them to the field.
Pilot Projects
Setting up and reporting on climate-smart agriculture prototypes in the field.
Monitoring and Evaluation
Participatory monitoring, evaluation and impact measurement.
Partnerships
Multi-stakeholder partnerships with government, academia, civil society and business.
Funding and Grants
Project proposals for EU, UN and climate finance sources.
Technology in Agriculture
Data-driven, climate-resilient production
By bringing remote sensing, precision agriculture, smart irrigation and digital monitoring to the field, we help producers grow more with fewer resources.
- Smart irrigation Water savings with soil-moisture sensors and weather data
- Digital agriculture Decision support from satellite imagery, drones and sensor networks
- Resilient varieties Scaling up seeds and practices that withstand climate stress
