WATCH | The transformative power of climate smart agriculture

Standard Bank, in partnership with Business Day, recently hosted an impactful event on the transformative power of climate smart agriculture (CSA).

As climate change and shifting market demands continue to challenge the agricultural sector, CSA provides a forward-thinking approach to adapting practices within the framework of the circular economy.

The event brought together industry leaders, policymakers and innovators to explore how CSA can boost agricultural resilience and sustainability in Africa.

Key topics up for discussion included:

• Integrating CSA into existing farming systems to increase productivity while minimising environmental impact;
• Case studies of successful CSA implementations across Africa;
• The role of CSA in adaptation, mitigation and emission reduction using cutting-edge technologies; and
• Emerging trends and the role of technology in advancing CSA practices.

The event provided valuable insights into the future of agriculture, market opportunities, export potential and supply chain improvements.

Attendees discovered how CSA is transforming agriculture for both commercial and subsistence farmers, and how Standard Bank is guiding clients and stakeholders through this transition with tailored agri-finance solutions and policy support.
