All three statements are correct. The ‘Climate-Smart Village’ (CSV) approach was indeed pioneered by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). CCAFS is an international research program focusing on climate change impacts on agriculture. CGIAR (Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research) is a global partnership that unites international organizations engaged in research for a food-secure future. The CGIAR System Organization is legally registered in France, with its main office in Montpellier, and it coordinates the activities of the various CGIAR Research Centers. ICRISAT (International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics), located in Hyderabad, India, is one of the CGIAR’s research centers.

– Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) aims to increase productivity and incomes, adapt and build resilience to climate change, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
– The Climate-Smart Village approach demonstrates CSA practices at the community level.
– CCAFS is a leading international research program in this area.
– CGIAR is a global network of agricultural research organizations.
– ICRISAT is a CGIAR research center based in India.

CGIAR supports 15 research centers worldwide that conduct research on various aspects of agriculture, food security, and climate change. The CSV model involves working with local communities to identify and implement appropriate CSA technologies and practices based on local conditions and needs. These often include improved crop varieties, water management techniques, sustainable soil management, and diversification of farming systems.
