Agriculture plays a dual role in the context of climate change, as it is both highly vulnerable to changing climatic conditions and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Major agricultural sources of greenhouse gases include excessive fertilizer use, flooded rice cultivation, livestock production, crop residue burning, and intensive tillage practices (IPCC, 2019). Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) has emerged as a holistic approach to address these challenges by improving productivity, enhancing resilience to climate variability, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This article discusses the major sources of agricultureinduced greenhouse gas emissions and elaborates on climate-smart agricultural practices such as conservation agriculture, improved nutrient and water management, crop diversification, agroforestry, and sustainable residue and livestock management. Adoption of climate-smart agriculture can significantly reduce emission intensity while ensuring sustainable agricultural production (ICAR, 2020).
