Conservation agriculture and climate-smart agriculture  have proven to increase soil carbon, yields and technical efficiency . Some water-related measures in conservation agriculture include allowing for shading and soil moisture retention, with the co-benefit of reducing pest attacks . Especially for traditional food grains in small-holder agriculture, improved practices such as modern varieties or integrated nutrient management can play an important role in making production more resilient to climate stress . This measure is also among the top four most frequent adaptation measures in all continents except Australia and North America . In addition, this measure is shown to have positive economic benefits  and also benefits on other parameters  . Such approaches are also among those most frequently assessed for their effectiveness in addressing future climate change, but show limited effectiveness across warming levels .
