Ethiopia’s agriculture sector, a key contributor to both emissions and livelihoods, is undergoing modernization to adopt low-carbon and climate-resilient practices. The low-emission scenario for agriculture focuses on improving livestock productivity, promoting climate-smart farming techniques, enhancing water-use efficiency, and increasing the adoption of organic fertilizers. These efforts aim to reduce the sector’s greenhouse gas emissions while also improving resilience to climate variability. Adaptation measures, such as improved crop varieties and irrigation techniques, are crucial to sustaining food production in the face of increasing droughts and other climate-related challenges.
