The problem has an adverse effect on agricultural productivity, natural resource and eco-environmental balances. With the help of climate smart crop production practice, the agriculture activity builds a resilient community to manage climate change impact, to reduce its effect, and to recover quickly from negative impact. Hence the major objective of this study is assessing climate-smart crop production practices in Woliso woreda. To achieve this objective primary and secondary data was collected through household questioner survey, observation, focus group discussion and key informant interview. Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed by descriptive statistics such as percentage, frequency and presented by chart and table. Different climate smart crop production activities were practiced in the area such as soil and water conservation (terracing, planting tree on the farm, planting cover crop and use of the improved variety), use of fertilizer (chemical fertilizer, compost, farmyard manure, incorporate crop residue on farm).The study evaluated the perception of farmers on the improvement of the adaptive capacity from the adverse effect of climate variability and land degradation by practicing climate smart crop production practices the result shows majority of farmers are effective on the return of each practices. The study also revealed that climate-smart crop production practices improve the yield of productivity. The average change of crop yield of climate smart crop production practices is 61% more with compared to without climate smart crop production practices. The increasing rate of yield with practicing climate smart crop production exceeded than without practicing the climate smart agriculture activities.The progress of productivity of crops and the generated incomes of households were increased over the consecutive years.On the other hand. This research also identifies the major barriers to the implementation of climate smart crop production practices, such as lack of farm tools, financial resources, land shortage and limitation of input supply. This research recommends that the woreda agricultural office has to identify the soil type and select the appropriate climate smart crop production practices. Furthermore, climatesmart crop production practice should be implemented based on the investigation of appropriate climate smart crop production practices for the study areaenproductivity, resilience, sustainable land management, climate-smart agricultureThesis
