This study was undertaken in 3 randomly selected rural kebeles in Hidabo Abote Woreda ofrnNorth Shewa Zone, Oromia Regional State. The study aimed at assessing the contribution ofrnclimate smart agricultural practices for crop productivity, food security, livelihoodsrnenhancement and adaptation to climate change. Retrospective-cross-sectional study design wasrnemployed and questionnaire-based primary data was collected from 200 randomly selectedrnsample households. In addition, key informant interview and direct observation were employedrnto generate qualitative data. In fact, secondary data was obtained from various relatedrnorganizations such as NMA, CSA and the Woreda Agricultural Office. Latest version of SPSSrnsoftware was used to explore key descriptive and inferential statistics. Household Food BalancernModel (HFBM) and Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) were used to investigaternthe availability, consumption and access components of household food security status. Thernsustainability component was addressed by analyzing the trends and current circumstances ofrnrainfall and temperature in the area. Precipitation Concentration Index (PCI) and Coefficient ofrnVariation (CV) were used to look into the level of concentration of rainfall to certain months of arnyear and variations in rainfall among series of years (1983-2016). It is found that the rainfall isrnhighly concentrated, the variation among years is noticeable and temperature is slightlyrnincreasing in the area. The farmers have already started mulching, inter-cropping, agroforestry, crop rotation, improved seed application and water harvesting to cope with the adversernimpacts of climate change. It is also found that most farmers perceive the existence of climaternchange in the area as a result of which they are trying to design their own adaptationrnmechanisms. Among other variables, age of the household head, income status, asset position,rnfarmland size, access to extension services, experience in agriculture, distance, fertilizerrnapplication, family size, and crop- diversification are found to be important determinant factorsrnfor CSA practices in the area. In order to harness the best out of CSA practices as a means tornadapt to the changing climatic conditions in the area, compressive planning, well thought-outrnand genuine strategies, adequate understanding of the implementation practices, efficient andrneffective utilization of natural resources and competent expertise/leadership are recommended tornbe vital.
