This study evaluates the welfare impacts of adopting Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) among 386 households in Zimbabwe using an endogenous switching regression model. Results show CSA adoption significantly enhances food security and household income, driven by factors such as education, labor, and access to arable land. Recommendations include promoting CSA through better access to inputs, decentralizing agricultural services, and providing incentives for rural agro-dealers.
