Climate change causes a major threat to agricultural production and food security in Tanzania, and Climate-smart Agriculture (CSA) is crucial in addressing the potential impacts. The study used cross-sectional data from 1443 farm households in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania to analyse factors that determine the probability of using multiple combinations of Climate-smart Agriculture practices (CSA-practices) (i.e., crop rotation, crop residue retention and intercropping). The multinomial logit model was applied to examine the determinants of using multiple combinations of CSA-practices. The analysis of factors that in\ufb02uence farm households\u2019 decision to use CSA-practices revealed that production diversification, gender and livestock ownership were found to have a positive and signifcantlyin\ufb02uence on the usage of a combination of crop residue retention and intercropping (C0R1I1). In addition, the education level and gender of the household head had positive significance in the usage of a combination of crop rotation, crop residue retention and intercropping (C1R1I1). This comprehensive study is significant for a finer understanding of the synergistic effect of interrelated CSA-practices. The study calls for policymakers to enact policies and plans that promote CSA practices as a combination, including other interrelated practices to upscale CSA-practices usage while harnessing the synergies between them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/tradeinvestment\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hella-compressed1.pdf\" class=\"broken_link\">Click here to download the full article:<span class=\"fontstyle0\"> Usage of Climate Smart Agriculture Practices: An Analysis of Farm Households&#8217; Decisions in Southern Highlands of Tanzania<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usage of Climate Smart Agriculture Practices: An Analysis ofFarm Households&#8217; Decisions in SouthernHighlands of Tanzania 1*Bongole A.J., K.M.K.
