Abstract: Climate change remains a significant threat to food security, especially in developing countries of sub-Saharan Africa. We investigate the impact of farmers’ joint adoption of climate-smart agricultural technologies (CSAT) on sorghum farmers’ performance in Mali, where sorghum is one of the most important staple food crops. The empirical results indicate that adopting all the CSAT components as a package significantly increases sorghum yield compared to non-adopters and incomplete adopters. However, due to the higher cost associated with the package and insufficient yield enhancement by the package, incomplete adoption of CSAT components provides better income, particularly if farmers are educated.
