Farmers reported an increase of 15% in crop yields and a 20% rise in household income after adopting CSA practices, highlighting the significant impact on livelihoods. The implementation of CSA practices has been shown to be effective in enhancing agricultural productivity and economic benefits for smallholder farmers in Zambia's Zambian Highlands.
