International Conference on

“Economic Pathways for Climate-Smart and Sustainable Agriculture” – (ECPCSSA-2026) Tunisia

Scope of the Conference

The global agricultural sector is facing an unprecedented convergence of challenges driven by climate change, resource degradation, market volatility, and socio-economic disparities. Agriculture, the backbone of food security and rural livelihoods, is increasingly vulnerable to rising temperatures, erratic rainfall patterns, land degradation, and biodiversity loss. These interconnected crises threaten productivity, food supply, and economic stability, particularly in developing countries where agriculture remains the mainstay of livelihoods. Against this backdrop, the International Conference on “Economic Pathways for Climate-Smart and Sustainable Agriculture” (ECPCSSA-2026) seeks to serve as a vital platform for rethinking agricultural transformation through the lens of economics, sustainability, and climate resilience.

The conference recognizes that achieving sustainable agricultural growth requires an integrated approach, one that simultaneously enhances productivity, strengthens resilience, reduces emissions, and ensures inclusivity. The theme, “Economic Pathways for Climate-Smart and Sustainable Agriculture,” underscores the pivotal role of economic analysis, policy design, and innovation in shaping resilient food systems. ECPCSSA-2026 aims to bring together a diverse group of academics, policymakers, practitioners, and development partners to share research insights, case studies, and practical experiences that advance climate-smart solutions across different agro-ecological and socio-economic contexts.

Supported by a network of international academic institutions, policy think tanks, and development organizations, ECPCSSA-2026 will offer an interdisciplinary platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange. It aspires to bridge the gap between research and practice, connecting theoretical frameworks with field-based evidence to inform more inclusive and effective agricultural policies. The event will also encourage North–South and South–South collaborations, enabling participants from different regions to learn from each other’s experiences in managing climate-related agricultural challenges.

At its core, the conference seeks to advance understanding of how economic tools, market mechanisms, and policy interventions can support transitions toward sustainable and climate-smart farming. Participants will deliberate on the efficiency of resource use, the resilience of agri-food systems, and the inclusiveness of economic growth, emphasizing that environmental sustainability and economic prosperity are not competing objectives but mutually reinforcing goals.
