The 2022 edition of the Biennial Climate Smart Agriculture Conference was held during the Science and Partnership for Agriculture Conference (SPAC) led by the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) on 14th to 16th September 2022 in Accra, Ghana and online.

A session was convened by DeSIRA-LIFT and FARA to discuss the contribution of agroecology to climate change adaptation and mitigation where experts from policy, finance and private sector presented successful agroecological initiatives and practices contributing to climate resilience and concrete ways in which agroecology can support adaptation and mitigation strategies.
