Abstract: Abstract Climate change threatens global food security, necessitating cooperative efforts to safeguard food systems. If emissions continue unabated, global temperatures are projected to rise by several degrees Celsius by the end of the century, causing widespread impacts on the environment and society Climate-smart agriculture/aquaculture (CSA/CSAq) offers resilience strategies amid changing climates, focusing on sustainable practices and emission reduction. Addressing vulnerabilities in livestock and fisheries, CSA aims to ensure food security and mitigate climate impact. Globally, innovative CSA practices have been promising. However, challenges persist, including financial constraints and policy hurdles, especially in developing countries. Entrepreneurship in CSA and aquaculture drives innovation but requires infrastructure and regulatory support. Technological innovations are vital advancements that can improve production and safeguard ecosystem services. Nevertheless, the limitations imposed by insufficient funding, knowledge gaps, and regulatory impediments need collaborative efforts from governments, international organizations, and stakeholders. Emphasizing the importance of research and fostering relationships within specific regions is crucial for ensuring food security. More so, collaborative research and policy initiatives are vital for resilient agriculture in a changing climate.
