<![CDATA[Global agriculture faces the dual challenge of feeding a projected 10 billion people by 2050 while mitigating substantial greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to severe climate vulnerabilities. While Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) addresses these pressures, most research examines single practices in isolation, missing the critical interactions of whole-farm integration. This study synthesizes existing evidence on integrating multiple climate-smart strategies, identifies knowledge gaps regarding multi-practice adoption, and evaluates the implications for long-term agricultural sustainability and resilience. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted, analyzing 38 peer-reviewed articles, official government reports, and institutional publications published between 2013 and 2026 using thematic analysis. Modern farming requires an integrated approach that combines sustainable intensification, conservation agriculture, agroforestry, and integrated water management. Bundling these practices enhances soil carbon sequestration and buffers against extreme weather. However, adoption is severely restricted by top-down mandates, inadequate extension services, and a massive global climate financing deficit. Technical innovations remain ineffective without localized adaptability and matching socio-economic reforms. Achieving genuine climate resilience demands transitioning from isolated technical fixes to a unified farming system framework. Policymakers must support this shift through innovative carbon market financing, secure land tenure, and decentralized digital extension services, while future research prioritizes multidimensional impact evaluations to ensure permanent sustainability]]>
