CSA goes beyond innovative technologies and practices like drought-resistant varieties or soil and water conservation measures. To achieve the multiple objectives of productivity, food security, enhanced farmer resilience and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, CSA must adopt a systems perspective. A systems approach aims to view a problem as part of an entire system, rather than considering problems in isolation.
