Climate change is the current worldwide problem and resulting in the land, water, andrnforest degradation. The problem has an adverse effect on agricultural productivity, naturalrnresource and eco-environmental balances. With the help of climate smart crop productionrnpractice, the agriculture activity builds a resilient community to manage climate changernimpact, to reduce its effect, and to recover quickly from negative impact. Hence the majorrnobjective of this study is assessing climate-smart crop production practices in Wolisornworeda. To achieve this objective primary and secondary data was collected throughrnhousehold questioner survey, observation, focus group discussion and key informantrninterview. Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed by descriptive statistics such asrnpercentage, frequency and presented by chart and table. Different climate smart croprnproduction activities were practiced in the area such as soil and water conservationrn(terracing, planting tree on the farm, planting cover crop and use of the improved variety),rnuse of fertilizer (chemical fertilizer, compost, farmyard manure, incorporate crop residuernon farm).The study evaluated the perception of farmers on the improvement of the adaptiverncapacity from the adverse effect of climate variability and land degradation by practicingrnclimate smart crop production practices the result shows majority of farmers are effectivernon the return of each practices. The study also revealed that climate-smart croprnproduction practices improve the yield of productivity. The average change of crop yield ofrnclimate smart crop production practices is 61% more with compared to without climaternsmart crop production practices. The increasing rate of yield with practicing climate smartrncrop production exceeded than without practicing the climate smart agriculturernactivities.The progress of productivity of crops and the generated incomes of householdsrnwere increased over the consecutive years.On the other hand. This research also identifiesrnthe major barriers to the implementation of climate smart crop production practices, suchrnas lack of farm tools, financial resources, land shortage and limitation of input supply.rnThis research recommends that the woreda agricultural office has to identify the soil typernand select the appropriate climate smart crop production practices. Furthermore, climatesmart crop production practice should be implemented based on the investigation ofrnappropriate climate smart crop production practices for the study area
