The cost of lowering greenhouse gas emissions is high, especially for low-income farmers transitioning into climate-smart solutions.
Affordability should, therefore, be the chief concern of climate-smart solutions.

Climate-smart solutions include:
Green Bricks, Biomass to Electricity, Hydraulic Ram Pump, Resilient homesteads, Zero-energy cool chamber, Hanging vegetable gardens, Natural composts, etc.
