The objective of this paper is to review both supply- and demand-side measures for climate-smart agriculture and discuss their interlinkages, trade-offs, and context- and site-specific validity. The literature reviewed focuses on studies during the last decade (2008–2017) addressing food- and feed-related measures.

Therefore, this paper does not only aim to provide a broad overview of measures but also to identify areas with high opportunities for implementing these measures
