Abstract: Climate smart agriculture (CSA) is proposed to meet the major challenges of feeding nine billion people by 2050, adapting systems to climate change and mitigating anthropogenic GHG emissions. These challenges are salient in tropical island regions that are particularly vulnerable. While many technical solutions based on agroecology and bioeconomy have been proposed to promote CSA, there is little work on the issue of barriers to the transition towards such systems, which remains slow. There is a need to develop methods to model possible futures to cope with the imposed constraints of climate change and to identify relevant agronomic and policy levers to achieve this goal.
