Abstract
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate-smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented and modelled climate-smart practices (diverse cover crops and innovative manure management). Our results highlight the need to optimize amendments to ensure sustained yield with lowered GHG emissions. Moreover, we completed a successful collaboration that led to a farmer's adoption of recommended practices. Integrating these outcomes into policy frameworks could ensure that financial and technical resources are directed toward practices proven effective under local conditions.
