Asian farmers and fishers already employ a variety of adaptation practices to minimise the adverse impacts of climate change. In a recent systematic and comprehensive review of farmers' adaptation practices in Asia, Shaffril et al.  categorised these practices into different forms such as crop management, irrigation and water management, farm management, financial management, physical infrastructure management and social activities. 'Climate-smart agriculture'-an integrated approach for developing agricultural strategies that address the intertwined challenges of food security and climate change-is increasingly being promoted in many parts of the region, especially in Southeast and South Asia, with potentially promising outcomes . Site-specific adaptations, such as those in Pakistan, include farmers' utilisation of several adaptation techniques which include changing crop type and variety, and improving seed quality; fertiliser application and use of pesticides, and planting of shade trees; and water storage and farm diversification , as well as the implementation of comprehensive climate information services for farming communities .
