African farming systems face erratic rainfall, heat stress and degrading soils that threaten yields and food security. This programme introduces climate smart practices that raise productivity, build resilience and reduce emissions on farms and across supply chains. Delegates learn to assess climate risks and design interventions suited to smallholder and commercial contexts alike.
