For example, the development of agricultural zoning tools can help expand cassava cultivation by identifying suitable areas for cassava growth under various climate change scenarios (Aparecido et al., 2020). Climate-smart agriculture is a new agricultural production model that combines climate science, agricultural technology and economic management. It aims to achieve sustainable agriculture by improving the adaptability of agricultural production, reducing climate risks, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As observed in Oyo State, Nigeria, climate-smart agriculture practices have been recognized as increasing yields and increasing sustainable food production (Victory et al., 2022). 4.2 Policy support and farmer participation In order to increase farmers' acceptance and participation in climate adaptation technologies, governments and all sectors of society need to work together to strengthen education and education, provide technical support, and optimize the policy environment. The government provides financial subsidies and incentives to incentivize farmers to adopt climate adaptation technologies, such as water-efficient irrigation and smart fertilization, to reduce the economic pressure on farmers and increase their motivation. The government has increased investment in the research and development of cassava cultivation technology, promoted advanced climate adaptation technologies and varieties, and cooperated with scientific research institutions and universities to promote continuous innovation and progress in technology. In addition, the government has set strict market access standards and regulatory measures to ensure the quality and safety of cassava products, and actively explore the international market to provide broad sales channels for cassava products. When considering crops such as cassava for food and energy production, supportive government policies can help balance food security and fuel production (Nuwamanya et al., 2012). The adoption and promotion of resilient crops such as cassava to mitigate climate risks requires not only policy support, but also the active participation of farmers, who themselves need to continuously improve their scientific and technological quality and application capabilities to actively adapt to the challenges brought about by climate change. Studies have shown that farmers' socioeconomic status, such as education and agricultural experience, has a significant impact on their adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices (Victory et al., 2022). In addition, cost-benefit analyses of climate change adaptation strategies can guide farmers in southern Nigeria, showing that practices such as conservation agriculture can be cost-effective and efficient (Ukoha, 2020). 4.3 International cooperation and exchange In the sustainable development of cassava cultivation, international cooperation and exchange play a pivotal role. This cooperation and exchange not only promotes the sharing of cassava breeding resources in the world, but also injects new vitality into the genetic adaptation and breeding research of cassava. Through international cooperation, countries can share high-quality cassava germplasm resources, including adaptable varieties under different climatic conditions, varieties with strong disease resistance, etc., and can develop improved varieties that are more suitable for different environmental conditions. The Global Cassava Partnership for the 21st Century (GCP21) exemplifies this collaboration, bringing together scientists and professionals to focus on cassava research and development, with a particular emphasis on climate change (Hyman et al., 2012). International cooperation projects are usually jointly participated by scientific research institutions, universities and enterprises in many countries to promote the innovation and development of cassava genetic adaptation and breeding technology through joint research, technical exchanges and personnel training. The success of the cassava breeding programme of the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) also highlights the importance of international cooperation in significantly increasing cassava productivity (Kawano, 2003). 5Outlook With the intensification of global climate change, cassava cultivation is facing more and more challenges. Factors such as temperature fluctuations, changes in rainfall patterns, and increased pests and diseases all directly or indirectly affect cassava growth and yield. For example, in Ghana, the climate suitability of cassava is expected to
