Abstract: Food security is closely linked to agricultural productivity and the adoption of modern technologies. This study examines the socio-economic and environmental factors that drive the adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), enhance productivity, and improve food security in tidal swamp areas. The interrelationships between economic factors such as income and access to capital, and environmental factors like sustainable land management practices and water resource usage, all of which play a crucial role in the adoption of CSA technologies. The study was conducted with 180 farmers in Banyuasin Regency, specifically in Telang Makmur, Panca Mukti and Telang Jaya Villages, who provided data to assess how these factors influence food security outcomes. The findings indicate that both economic and environmental factors significantly affect the adoption of CSA technology, which subsequently leads to increased agricultural productivity and food security. Specifically, economic empowerment through higher income levels and enhanced access to capital enables farmers to invest in CSA technologies, while environmentally sustainable practices help mitigate climate risks and improve land and water management. The results underscore the importance of integrated approaches that address both economic and environmental dimensions to ensure long-term food security. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, stressing the need for strategies that combine economic support, technological innovation, and environmental sustainability to enhance food security in regions like Muara Telang.
