dc.description.abstractFood insecurity in the Chin highland region is mostly due to reduction of crop yield resulting from land degradation, reduced soil fertility, and weed infestation. Climate change is expected to worsen soil fertility as organic matter diminishes under high temperatures. Free grazing in summer further degrades farms. In the Saktta Climate Smart Village (CSV), new corn and upland rice varieties derived from the Aungban Research Station were tested and found promising. CSVs demonstrate community-based adaptation in agriculture in different agroecological zones in Myanmar. Where shifting cultivation is practiced, Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) options can help to stabilize farms.en
